The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى رَجُلًا يَتْبَعُ حَمَامَةً فَقَالَ: «شَيْطَانٌ يَتْبَعُ شَيْطَانَةً» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ وَالْبِيهَقِيُّ فِي شُعَبِ الْإِيمَانِ
Abu Huraira told that God’s messenger saw a man following a pigeon and said, "A devil is following a she-devil."
Ahmad, Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah and Baihaqi, in Shu’ab al-iman, transmitted it.
