CHAPTER: The Command To The One Who Is Praying To Block Others From Crossing In Front Of Him.
Abu Saeed al-Khudri reported the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: When one of you prays, he should not let anyone pass in front of him; he should turn him away as far as possible; but if he refuses (to go), he should fight him, for he is only a devil.
Abu Saeed al-Khudri reported the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: When one of you prays, he should pray facing the sutrah (screen or covering) and he should keep himself close to it. He then narrated the tradition to the same effect.
Abu Ubaid said: I saw Ata bin Yazid al-Laithi praying in a standing posture. So I went to him passing in front of him; he, therefore, turned me away. He then said to me: Abu Saeed al-Khudri reported the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: If anyone of you can do that he should not let anyone pass between him and the qiblah, he should do it.
Abu Salih said: I narrate what I witnesses from Abu Saeed and heard from him. Abu Saeed entered upon Marwan and said: I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم say: When one of you prays facing any object which conceals him from people, and someone wishes to pass in front of him, he should strike him at his chest; if he refuses (to go), he should fight him; he is only a devil. Abu Dawud said: Sufyan Ath-Thawri said: A person arrogantly walks in front of me while I am praying, so I stop him, and a weak person passes, so I dont stop him.
