Did The Prophet ﷺ Supplicate Against the Crow?

Question :

I heard from a brother that, on the day of his emigration, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ supplicated against a crow: "May Allah blacken your face." Is this Hadith authentic? If it is authentic, why did the Messenger of Allâh say that?

Answer:

This narration is a fabrication as far as I know the Messenger of Allah ﷺ didn't supplicate against the crow, not during his emigration and not during any other time. But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did mention the crow in the Hadith concerning the five Fawasiq (vicious animals), which are to be killed, even when a person is in a state of Ihram , he ﷺ said :
"There are five animals that are all Fawasiq and should be killed while not in Ihram and while in Ihram: the crow, the kite (a kind of bird), the scorpion, the mouse, and the ferocious dog."
