Interrupting Prayers and Dealing with Satan

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of not interrupting someone who is praying and how to deal with those who do.

It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that: he was praying and a son a Marwan wanted to pass in front of him. He tried to stop him but he did not go back, so he hit him. The boy went the boy went out crying and went to Marwan and told him (what had happened). Marwan said to Abu Sa'eed: "Why did you hit your brother's son?" He said: "I did not hit him, rather I hit the Saitan. I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'If one of you is praying and someone wants to pass in front of him, let him troy to stop him as much as he can, and if he persists then let him fight him, for he is a devil.
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُصْعَبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُصَلِّي فَإِذَا بِابْنٍ لِمَرْوَانَ يَمُرُّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَدَرَأَهُ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ فَضَرَبَهُ فَخَرَجَ الْغُلاَمُ يَبْكِي حَتَّى أَتَى مَرْوَانَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ مَرْوَانُ لأَبِي سَعِيدٍ لِمَ ضَرَبْتَ ابْنَ أَخِيكَ قَالَ مَا ضَرَبْتُهُ إِنَّمَا ضَرَبْتُ الشَّيْطَانَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي صَلاَةٍ فَأَرَادَ إِنْسَانٌ يَمُرُّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَيَدْرَؤُهُ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلْيُقَاتِلْهُ فَإِنَّهُ شَيْطَانٌ

QUICK LESSONS:
Respect prayer times by not interrupting or distracting others from their prayers

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of respecting prayer time. It was narrated by Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that he was praying when a son of Marwan tried to pass in front of him. He tried to stop him but he did not go back, so he hit him. Marwan asked why he hit his brother's son, and Abu Sa'eed replied that it wasn't the boy, but rather the Satan that he hit because Prophet Muhammad said if someone tries to pass in front of you while you are praying then try your best to stop them and if they persist then fight them as they are a devil. This hadith teaches us that we should respect prayer time by not interrupting or distracting others from their prayers, as well as teaching us how we should deal with those who do try to disturb our prayers - by fighting them off like we would fight off a devil.
