The Prophet ﷺ said:

إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ صِيَاحَ الدِّيَكَةِ فَاسْأَلُوا اللَّهَ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ، فَإِنَّهَا رَأَتْ مَلَكًا، وَإِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ نَهِيقَ الْحِمَارِ فَتَعَوَّذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَإِنَّهُ رَأَى شَيْطَانًا

Idha sami'tum siyahad-diyakati fas'alullaha min fadlih, fa innaha ra'at malaka, wa idha sami'tum nahiqal-himari fata'awwadhu billahi minash-shaytan, fa innahu ra'a shaytana

When you hear roosters crowing, ask Allah for His bounty, for they have seen an angel; and when you hear a donkey braying, seek refuge in Allah from Satan, for it has seen a devil.
