Hafs reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying, and the other version of this tradition transmitted through a different chain has: Abu Dharr said (and not the Prophet): If there is not anything like the back of a saddle in front of a man who is praying, then a donkey, a black dog, and a woman cut off his prayer. I asked him: Why has the black dog been specified, distinguishing it from a red, a yellow and a white dog? He replied: My nephew, I also asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the same question as you asked me. He said: The black dog is a devil.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: Qatadah said: I heard Jabir ibn Zayd who reported on the authority of Ibn Abbas; and Shubah reported the Prophet ﷺ as saying: A menstruating woman and a dog cut off the prayer. Abu Dawud said: Saeed, Hisham and Hammam narrated this tradition from Qatadah on the authority of Jabir bin Zaid as a statement of Ibn Abbas.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: Ikrimah reported on the authority of Ibn Abbas, saying: I think the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: When one of you prays without a sutrah, a dog, an ass, a pig, a Jew, a Magian, and a woman cut off his prayer, but it will suffice if they pass in front of him at a distance of over a stone's throw. Abu Dawud said: There is something about this tradition in my heart. I used to discuss it with Ibrahim and others. I did not find anyone who narrated it from Hisham and knew it. I did not know anyone who reported it from Hisham and knew it. I did not know anyone who related it from Hisham. I think the confusion is on the part of Ibn Abi Saminah that is, Muhammad bin Ismail al-Basri, the freed slave of Banu Hisham. In this tradition the mention of words "a Magian" is rejected; the mention of the words "at a stone's throw" and "a pig" is rejected. Abu Dawud said: I did not hear this tradition except from Muhammad bin Ismail bin Samurrah and I think he was mistaken because he used to narrate to us from his memory.

Yazid bin Namran said: I saw a crippled man at Tabuk. He (the man) said: I passed riding a donkey in front of the Prophet ﷺ who was praying. He said (cursing him): O Allah, cut off his walking. Thenceforth I could not walk.

This tradition as also been reported by Saeed through the same chain of narrators and to the same effect. He added: He cut off our prayer, may Allah cut off his walking. Abu Dawud said: This version narrated by Mushir on the authority of Saeed has: He cut off our prayer.

Saeed bin Ghazwan reported on the authority of his father that he made his stay at Tabuk (during his journey) for performing Hajj. All of a sudden he saw a crippled man and asked him about his condition. He said: I relate to you a tradition, but do not narrate it to anyone so long as I am alive: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ encamped at Tabuk near a date-palm and he said: This is our qiblah (direction for praying). He then offered prayer facing it. I came running, when I was a boy, until I passed the place between him and the tree. He said (cursing): He cut off our prayer, may Allah cut off his walking. I could not, therefore, stand upon them (feet) till today.
