Answer:
Yes, this is true, it is mentioned in the Hadith and Dua is encouraged during these moments. Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (Radiyallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “When you hear the crow of the rooster, then take advantage of Allah’s grace and ask Him for the rooster has sighted an angel. And when you hear a donkey bray, ask Allah for protection for it has seen a shaitaan” (Sahih Muslim, Hadith #: 2729)
