Sunan Abi Dawud 700 (Book 2, Hadith 310) #20991
Respect During Prayer

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of maintaining respect and reverence during prayer, and how to handle someone who disrespects it.

Abu Salih said: I narrate what I witnesses from Abu Sa'id and heard from him. Abu Sa'id entered upon Marwan and said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: When one of you prays facing any object which conceals him from people, and someone wishes to pass in front of him, he should strike him at his chest; if he refuses (to go), he should fight him; he is only a devil. Abu Dawud said: Sufyan Ath-Thawri said: "A person arrogantly walks in front of me while I am praying, so I stop him, and a weak person passes, so I dont stop him".
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ - عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ هِلاَلٍ - قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو صَالِحٍ أُحَدِّثُكَ عَمَّا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ وَسَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ، دَخَلَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ عَلَى مَرْوَانَ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى شَىْءٍ يَسْتُرُهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَأَرَادَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَجْتَازَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَلْيَدْفَعْ فِي نَحْرِهِ فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلْيُقَاتِلْهُ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْطَانٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ يَمُرُّ الرَّجُلُ يَتَبَخْتَرُ بَيْنَ يَدَىَّ وَأَنَا أُصَلِّي فَأَمْنَعُهُ وَيَمُرُّ الضَّعِيفُ فَلاَ أَمْنَعُهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of respecting prayer time. It teaches us that when we are praying, we should not be interrupted or disturbed by anyone. If someone does try to disturb us while we are praying, then we should politely ask them to stop or move away from our line of sight. If they refuse to do so, then it is permissible for us to fight them in order to protect our prayer time. This hadith also teaches us that even if someone is weak or vulnerable, we should still show them respect and not interrupt their prayers either.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught his followers that prayer was a sacred act which must be respected at all times. He warned against any kind of interruption or disturbance during this time as it can lead people away from worshipping Allah SWT properly and sincerely. We must always remember this lesson when engaging in our daily prayers so that we can maintain a peaceful atmosphere for ourselves and those around us while worshipping Allah SWT with humility and devotion.
