وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ 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'eed Al-Khudri Narrated from:
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Refrain from sitting in the roads." They (the sahabah (Prophet's Companions) who were present) رضي الله عنهم submitted, "O Messenger of Allah, we have no other place to sit together and converse." So, he said, "If you deny that there is no alternative but to sit there, then let the road have its due." They asked, "And, what is the road's right, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Keep your gaze low refrain from annoying anyone, respond to greetings (of salaam), enjoying the reputable and forbid the disreputable." [2]
