عن أبي سعيد الخدري رضي الله عنه مرفوعًا: «إذا صلَّى أَحَدُكُم إلى شيء يَسْتُرُهُ مِنَ النَّاس، فأَرَاد أحَد أن يَجْتَازَ بين يديه، فَلْيَدْفَعْهُ، فإن أبى فَلْيُقَاتِلْهُ؛ فإنما هو شيطان». وفي رواية: «إذا كان أَحَدُكُمْ يُصَلِّي فلا يَدَعْ أحدا يمُرُّ بين يديه، فإنْ أبى فَلْيُقَاتِلْهُ؛ فإن معه القَرِينَ».
“Abu Sa‘īd al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If anyone of you is praying behind something that conceals him from people and somebody tries to pass in front of him, he should push him away; if he refuses, the praying person should use force against him for he is a devil." Another narration reads: "If anyone of you is praying, he should not let anyone pass in front of him; if he refuses then use force, for he has a (devil) companion with him."”
