Mindful Behavior on Roads

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) advised people to be mindful of their behavior when sitting on roads, and to fulfill the rights of the road by lowering their gaze, responding to greetings, and talking in a good manner.

Abu Talhah Zaid bin Sahl (May Allah be pleased with him) said: We were sitting and talking on a platform in front of our house when the Messenger of Allah stopped by us and said, "Why do you sit on roads? Avoid sitting in them". We replied: "We sit there intending no harm. We only sit and discuss (religious) knowledge and talk". He said, "If you have to sit, you should fulfill the rights of the road: Lower your gaze, respond to greetings and talk in a good manner". Muslim.
وعن أبي طلحة زيد بن سهل رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ كنا قعودًا بالأفنية نتحدث فيها فجاء رسول الله فقالم علينا فقال‏:‏ ‏"‏ما لكم ولمجالس الصعدات‏؟‏ فقلنا‏:‏ إنما قعدنا لغير ما بأس، قعدنا نتذاكر، ونتحدث‏.‏ قال‏:‏ ‏"‏إما لا فأدوا حقها‏:‏ غض البصر، ورد السلام، وحسن الكلام‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏ ‏"‏الصُّعُدات‏"‏ بضم الصاد والعين، أي‏:‏ الطرقات‏.‏
