Hadith: Angels do not accompany a group of travelers who have a dog or a bell with them
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:
«لَا تَصْحَبُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ رُفْقَةً فِيهَا كَلْبٌ وَلَا جَرَسٌ».
[صحيح] - [رواه مسلم] - [صحيح مسلم: 2113]

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Angels do not accompany a group of travelers who have a dog or a bell with them."
[Authentic hadith] - [Narrated by Muslim] - [Sahih Muslim - 2113]
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that angels do not accompany a group of people on a journey if they have with them a dog or a bell hung on animals and makes a sound when moving.
Benefits from the Hadith
- It is prohibited to keep or accompany a dog except a dog kept for hunting or guarding.
- Angels who refrain from such a company are the angels of mercy, however, the protecting angels never leave the slaves in residence or travel.
- The bell is prohibited because it is one of the devil's musical instruments and it resembles the Christians' bell.
- A Muslim must be keen on avoiding whatever keeps the angels far away from him.
