بَابُ النَّهْي عَنِ الْجُلُوسِ فِي الطُّرُقَاتِ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا
Chapter on the prohibition of sitting in the pathways except with their due rights
Hadith 9484
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ((إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْجُلُوسَ فِي الطُّرُقَاتِ)) قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا لَنَا مِنْ مَجَالِسِنَا بُدٌّ نَتَحَدَّثُ فِيهَا قَالَ ((فَأَمَّا إِذَا أَبَيْتُمْ فَأَعْطُوا الطَّرِيقَ حَقَّهُ)) قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَمَا حَقُّ الطَّرِيقِ قَالَ ((غَضُّ الْبَصَرِ وَكَفُّ الْأَذَى وَرَدُّ السَّلَامِ وَالْأَمْرُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّهْيُ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ))
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Avoid sitting on the roads. The companions said: O Messenger of Allah! There is no alternative for our gatherings; we have to talk on the roads. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you insist, then give the road its due right. They asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is the right of the road? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Lowering the gaze, not causing harm, responding to greetings, enjoining good, and forbidding evil.
Hadith 9485
عَنْ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَهُ
Sayyiduna Abu Talhah Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) has also narrated a similar Prophetic hadith.
Hadith 9486
عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى مَجْلِسٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ إِنْ أَبَيْتُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ تَجْلِسُوا فَاهْدُوا السَّبِيلَ وَرُدُّوا السَّلَامَ وَأَعِينُوا الْمَظْلُومَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Bara’ bin ‘Azib (may Allah be pleased with both of them) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a gathering of the Ansar and said: If you must sit in the pathways, then guide the traveler, respond to greetings, and help the oppressed.
Hadith 9487
عَنْ أَبِي شُرَيْحِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْخُزَاعِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْجُلُوسَ عَلَى الصُّعُدَاتِ فَمَنْ جَلَسَ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى الصَّعِيدِ فَلْيُعْطِهِ حَقَّهُ قَالَ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا حَقُّهُ قَالَ غَضُّ الْبَصَرِ وَرَدُّ التَّحِيَّةِ وَأَمْرٌ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَنَهْيٌ عَنْ مُنْكَرٍ
Sayyiduna Abu Shurayh bin Amr Khuzai (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Avoid sitting on the roads. If someone wishes to sit on the road, then he should fulfill its right. We said: O Messenger of Allah! What is the right of the road? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Lowering the gaze, responding to greetings, enjoining good, and forbidding evil.
