510. Dua When Rooster Crows or Donkey Brays (Hadith)
Narrated by Abu Huraira (RA): The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When you hear the crowing of cocks, ask for Allah's Blessings for (their crowing indicates that) they have seen an angel. And when you hear the braying of donkeys, seek refuge with Allah from Satan for (their braying indicates) that they have seen a Satan.

When a rooster crows at night, it’s believed in Islam that the rooster has spotted an angel. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, “When you hear the crowing of a cock in the night, it has seen an angel. Ask Allah for its blessing.” Roosters have a special place in Islamic teachings, and their crow can be a sign of goodness or angels being near. Supplicating at that time is encouraged.
