Sunan Ibn Majah 944 (Book 5, Hadith 142) #30296
The Importance of Waiting During Prayer

SUMMARY: It is better to wait for a certain amount of time than to pass in front of someone who is praying.

Busr bin Sa’eed said: "They sent me to Zaid bin Khalid to ask him about passing in front of one who is performing prayer. He told me that the Prophet said: 'Waiting for forty is better than passing in front of one who is performing prayer.’" (One of the narrators) Sufyan said: "I do not know if he meant forty years, months, days, or hours".
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ أَبِي النَّضْرِ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ أَرْسَلُونِي إِلَى زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الْمُرُورِ، بَيْنَ يَدَىِ الْمُصَلِّي فَأَخْبَرَنِي عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لأَنْ يَقُومَ أَرْبَعِينَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَمُرَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ فَلاَ أَدْرِي أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً أَوْ شَهْرًا أَوْ صَبَاحًا أَوْ سَاعَةً

QUICK LESSONS:
Wait patiently before passing near someone who is performing prayer

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of respecting those who are praying by not passing in front of them. It was narrated by Busr bin Saeed that he was sent to ask Zaid bin Khalid about passing in front of one who is performing prayer. Zaid told him that the Prophet said it is better to wait for forty years, months, days or hours than passing in front of one who is performing prayer. This hadith teaches us that we should be respectful and patient when it comes to those who are praying and not disturb them while they are engaged in their worship. We should also be mindful when we pass near someone’s place where they are praying so as not to cause any disruption or distraction from their prayers. Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us the importance of patience and waiting as it may be better than rushing into something without thinking through its consequences first.
