Hadith 4640
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْجُلُوسَ بِالطُّرُقَاتِ» . فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا لَنَا مِنْ مَجَالِسِنَا بُدٌّ نَتَحَدَّثُ فِيهَا. قَالَ: «فَإِذَا أَبَيْتُمْ إِلَّا الْمَجْلِسَ فَأَعْطُوا الطَّرِيقَ حَقَّهُ» . قَالُوا: وَمَا حَقُّ الطَّرِيقِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ: «غَضُّ الْبَصَرِ وَكَفُّ الْأَذَى وَرَدُّ السَّلَام والأمرُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّهْي عَن الْمُنكر»
Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), he said: "Avoid sitting on the roads." The companions said, "O Messenger of Allah! Sitting there is a necessity for us, we cannot do without it, we sit there and talk." He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "If you must sit, then give the road its due right." They asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What is the right of the road?" He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Lowering the gaze, not causing harm, responding to greetings, enjoining good, and forbidding evil." Agreed upon.
