حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَی بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ هِلَالٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو صَالِحٍ أُحَدِّثُکَ عَمَّا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ وَسَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ دَخَلَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ عَلَی مَرْوَانَ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِذَا صَلَّی أَحَدُکُمْ إِلَی شَيْئٍ يَسْتُرُهُ مِنْ النَّاسِ فَأَرَادَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَجْتَازَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَلْيَدْفَعْ فِي نَحْرِهِ فَإِنْ أَبَی فَلْيُقَاتِلْهُ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ الشَّيْطَانُ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد قَالَ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ يَمُرُّ الرَّجُلُ يَتَبَخْتَرُ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ وَأَنَا أُصَلِّي فَأَمْنَعُهُ وَيَمُرُّ الضَّعِيفُ فَلَا أَمْنَعُهُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 700
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 ﷺ 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. "
