Summary
There is a hadith narrated by Abu Daud from Zaid bin Khalid RA that forbids reviling a rooster because it wakes a person for prayer. Imam al-Nawawi and Imam al-Suyuthi graded it sahih, although scholars differ on whether it is mursal or marfu'. The prohibition does not reach the level of haram and only indicates that the act is makruh.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, hadith di atas adalah sahih dan larangan tersebut bukanlah sampai ke tahap haram, bahkan ia hanya menunjukkan kemakruhan bagi orang yang melakukannya
