Q
What actions are recommended if someone persists in passing in front of a person praying?
A
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, (what is ascribed to him in the following Hadith):Narrated Abu Salih As-Samman:I saw Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri praying on a Friday, behind something which acted as a Sutra. A young
man from Bani Abi Mu’ait [??] , wanted to pass in front of him, but Abu Sa`id repulsed him with a
push on his chest. Finding no alternative he again tried to pass but Abu Sa`id pushed him with a
greater force. The young man abused Abu Sa`id and went to Marwan and lodged a complaint against
Abu Sa`id and Abu Sa`id followed the young man to Marwan who asked him, “O Abu Sa`id! What
has happened between you and the son of your brother?” Abu Sa`id said to him, “I heard the Prophet (ﷺ)
saying, ‘If anybody amongst you is praying behind something as a Sutra and somebody tries to pass in
front of him, then he should repulse him and if he refuses, he should use force against him for he is a
Shaitan (a Satan).’ ”
