حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي سُرَيْجٍ الرَّازِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا مَسَرَّةُ بْنُ مَعْبَدٍ اللَّخْمِيُّ لَقِيتُهُ بِالْکُوفَةِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ حَاجِبُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ عَطَائَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ اللَّيْثِيَّ قَائِمًا يُصَلِّي فَذَهَبْتُ أَمُرُّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَرَدَّنِي ثُمَّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْکُمْ أَنْ لَا يَحُولَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ قِبْلَتِهِ أَحَدٌ فَلْيَفْعَلْ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 699
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 ﷺ as saying: If anyone of you can do that he should not let anyone pass between him and the qiblah, he should do it.
