Salah Interrupters As Per Hadith (Woman, Dog And Donkey)
This is the correct translation. “ The Messenger of ‘Allah (ﷺ) said: When any one of you stands for prayer and there is a thing before him equal to the back of the saddle that covers him and in case there is not before him (a thing) equal to the back of the saddle, his prayer would be cut off by (passing of an) ass, woman, and black Dog. I said: O Abu Dharr, what feature is there in a black dog which distinguish it from the red dog and the yellow dog? He said: O, son of my brother, I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as you are asking me, and he said: The black dog is a devil. This is a piece of advice for the sake of maintaining concentration in the prayer. In an open space, such kind of occurrences may disturb the attention of the person saying prayer. Therefore it is advised to keep a thing as high as a saddle to mark an area of his prayer. The specification of the black dog as a devil might be the knowledge of the prophet that in his era the devils might take the form of a black dog because Jinns, too got active in countering the message and campaign of Islam, as we know it from the Quran.
