This hadith is listed as number 1128 in Maktaba Shamila
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى ، قَالَ : قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، " أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ يُصَلِّي ، فَلَا يَدَعْ أَحَدًا يَمُرُّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ، وَلْيَدْرَأْهُ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ ، فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلْيُقَاتِلْهُ ، فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْطَانٌ " .
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: When any one of you prays he should not let anyone pass in front of him (if there is no sutra), and should try to turn him away as far as possible, but if he refuses to go, he should turn him away forcibly for he is a devil.
