Sitting in open spaces and giving the road its due

Sayyiduna Abu Shurayh bin Amr al-Khuza'i (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Beware of sitting in the streets; whoever sits in the street should give it its right." The narrator says: We said: "O Messenger of Allah, what is its right?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Lowering the gaze, returning the greeting, enjoining good and forbidding evil."
Ahmad and al-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains Abdullah bin Sa'id al-Maqburi, who is extremely da'if (weak).

Sayyidah Aishah Siddiqah (may Allah be pleased with her) states: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to one of the gatherings of the Ansar, in which there were some people from among the Ansar. He gave the greeting of peace and they returned the greeting. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not like that gathering. The people said: "O Messenger of Allah, this is a way of sitting in which our forefathers used to sit in the Days of Ignorance (Jahiliyyah), so we liked to keep this gathering alive and to sit in it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you insist on doing so, then return the greeting, lower your gazes and guide people on the way."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains Salih bin Musa al-Talhi, who is matruk (abandoned).

Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reports this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Beware of sitting in the streets. If you have no choice but to do so, then give the street its right." It was asked: "What is its right?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Lowering the gaze and returning the greeting." The narrator says: I think the narration also contains these words: "Guiding the one who has lost his way."
Al-Bazzar recorded it; its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except Abdullah bin Sinan al-Harawi, who is thiqah (trustworthy).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) reports this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Do not sit in gatherings (in the streets). If you must do so, then return the greeting, lower your gazes, guide people on the way and help with loading burdens."
Al-Bazzar recorded it; its chain contains Muhammad bin Abi Layla, who is thiqah (trustworthy) but has a poor memory, and the rest of its narrators have been declared trustworthy.

Sayyiduna Sahl bin Hunayf (may Allah be pleased with him) states: The people of the upper region (al-Aliyah) said: "O Messenger of Allah, we have no choice but to sit together like this." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then fulfil the right of the gatherings." The people said: "What is the right of the gatherings?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Remembering Allah Almighty abundantly, guiding people on the way and lowering the gaze."
Al-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains Abu Bakr bin Abd al-Rahman al-Ansari, a Tabi'i whom I do not know. The rest of its narrators have been declared trustworthy.

Sayyiduna Wahshi bin Harb (may Allah be pleased with him) reports this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Later on, after me, you will conquer great cities and hold gatherings in their markets. When that happens, return the greeting, lower your gazes, guide the blind and help the oppressed."
Al-Tabarani recorded it; all its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy), though there is some weakness in some of them.
