Strictness regarding passing in front of someone praying
Muwatta Malik (Yahya) 364 — Strictness regarding passing in front
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، أَنَّ كَعْبَ الْأَحْبَارِ قَالَ : " لَوْ يَعْلَمُ الْمَارُّ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الْمُصَلِّي مَاذَا عَلَيْهِ لَكَانَ أَنْ يُخْسَفَ بِهِ خَيْرًا لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَمُرَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ "
It is narrated from Ata bin Yasar that Ka'b Ahbar said: If a person passing in front of someone who is praying knew the punishment for this act, indeed, if he were to be swallowed by the earth, it would seem better to him than passing in front of the one praying.
