| Hadith number 509 |
| Chapter: 100 The person offering Salat (prayer) should repulse that person who tries to pass in front of him. |
| 509 .Narrated Abu Sa`id: The Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM) 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).’ “ |
