The Superstition of "Accursed Animals"

in the Religion of the Fanatics:

Kill the dogs, apart from the dog for hunting and

the dog for the security of the herd… (Sahih
Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Malik's Muwatta, at-

Tirmidhi, an-Nasai)

It is your duty [to kill] the jet-black (dog) having

two spots (on the eyes), for it is a devil. (Sahih
Muslim, Book 10, Hadith 3813)

It is said that the donkey brays for it sees satan.
(Sahih Muslim, Book 35, Hadith 6581)

Another hadith is that rats are actually a group of
Bani Isra'il, for which reason when the milk of the

camel is placed before them, they would not taste it
at all. (Sahih Muslim, Book 42, Hadith 7135,

7136)

One hadith is that the crow is a mischief-doer.
(Sahih Bukhari, Book 54, Hadith 531; Musnad
Ahmed ibn Hanbal 2/52)

The pigeon is a devil. (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book
41, Hadith 4922; Ibn Majah)
