Why Does the Donkey Bray?

Question

When a donkey brays, what is the cause of this, and what should be recited [at that moment]?

Answer

When a donkey brays, one should seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Shaytan, because it brays upon seeing Shaytan himself. So it is stated in “al-Mishkat”, p. 413.
