عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِي الطَّرِيقِ رُفِعَ مِنْ بَيْنِهِمْ سَبْعَةُ أَذْرُعٍ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When people disagree about the road, then seven hand-spans should be left in the middle.
