It is authentically established in the sound that the donkey sees the devil, which explains the reason for its braying. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded seeking refuge with Allah from Satan upon hearing the braying of a donkey because it has seen a devil. The hadiths also indicate that some animals see what humans do not see, and animals seeing what we do not see is not scientifically strange.
