Al Bara bin Azib said: The messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Al-Madinah and prayed toward Bait-al-Maqdis for sixteen months, then he was commanded to pray toward the Ka'bah. A man who had prayed with the prophet ﷺpassed by some of the Ansar and said: "I bear witness that the messenger of Allah ﷺ has been commanded to face toward the Ka'bah. So they turned to face the Ka'bah".

It was narrated that Abu Dharr said:

The messenger of Allahﷺ said: "When anyone of you stands to pray, then he is screened if he has in front of him something as high as the back of a camel saddle. If he does not have something as high as the back of a camel saddle in front of him, then his prayer is nullified by a woman, a donkey or a black dog." I (one of the narrators)said: "What is the difference between a black dog, a yellow one and a red one?" He said: I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ just like you and he said:"The black dog is a shaitan."

It was narrated that Al-Fadl bin 'Abbas said:

"The Messenger of Allahﷺvisited Al Abbas in some land of ours outside the city, and we had a small dog and a donkey which was grazing. The Messenger of Allahﷺ prayed Asr and they
were in front of him, and they were
not shooed away or pushed away."

Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he and a young boy of Banu Hashim, riding a donkey in front of the Messenger of Allahﷺ when he was praying.
Then they dismounted and joined the prayer, and he did not stop praying. Then two young girls of
Banu Abdul-Muttalib started running around and grabbing him by the knees. He separated them
but he did not stop praying."

Then he stopped that prayer and did not return to it until Allah took him (in death), and if he started to do something he would persist in it."
