حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ , عَنْ أَبِي الْيَمَانِ , عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرِو بْنِ حِمَاسٍ , عَنْ أَبِيهِ , عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ أَبِي أُسَيْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ , عَنْ أَبِيهِ , " أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ خَارِجٌ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ فَاخْتَلَطَ الرِّجَالُ مَعَ النِّسَاءِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ , فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلنِّسَاءِ : اسْتَأْخِرْنَ , فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَكُنَّ أَنْ تَحْقُقْنَ الطَّرِيقَ , عَلَيْكُنَّ بِحَافَّاتِ الطَّرِيقِ , فَكَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تَلْتَصِقُ بِالْجِدَارِ حَتَّى إِنَّ ثَوْبَهَا لَيَتَعَلَّقُ بِالْجِدَارِ مِنْ لُصُوقِهَا بِهِ " .
Narrated Abu Usayd al-Ansari: Abu Usayd heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say when he was coming out of the mosque, and men and women were mingled in the road: Draw back, for you must not walk in the middle of the road; keep to the sides of the road. Then women were keeping so close to the wall that their garments were rubbing against it.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊
It is proper etiquette for women that they should always walk behind men.
➋
While walking on the road or in the street, instead of walking right in the middle, they should walk to one side; this manner is a sign of their modesty and dignity, and in this there is safety for them as well, so that no miscreant can harass them.
➌
Some scholars have classified this narration as hasan (good).
(al-Saheehah, Hadith: 721)
