Sahih al-Bukhari 493 (Book 8, Hadith 140) #476
Passing in Front of Prayers

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a young Ibn 'Abbas who was allowed to pass in front of the rows while the Prophet (ﷺ) was offering prayer at Mina.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: Once I came riding a she-ass when I had just attained the age of puberty. Allah's Messenger was offering the prayer at Mina with no wall in front of him and I passed in front of some of the row. There I dismounted and let my she-ass loose to graze and entered the row and nobody objected to me about it.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَقْبَلْتُ رَاكِبًا عَلَى حِمَارٍ أَتَانٍ، وَأَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ قَدْ نَاهَزْتُ الاِحْتِلاَمَ، وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ بِمِنًى إِلَى غَيْرِ جِدَارٍ، فَمَرَرْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَىْ بَعْضِ الصَّفِّ، فَنَزَلْتُ وَأَرْسَلْتُ الأَتَانَ تَرْتَعُ، وَدَخَلْتُ فِي الصَّفِّ، فَلَمْ يُنْكِرْ ذَلِكَ عَلَىَّ أَحَدٌ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith narrates an incident when Ibn 'Abbas was riding a she-ass and he passed in front of some rows while the Prophet (ﷺ) was offering prayer at Mina. It shows that even though it is not permissible to pass in front of someone who is praying but due to his young age and innocence he was allowed to do so without any objection from anyone. This hadith teaches us that we should be considerate towards children and their innocence should be respected. We should also respect other people's prayers and not disturb them by passing through or talking during their prayers.
