Sahih

يَرُدُّ الْمُصَلِّي مَنْ مَرَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ

The one praying turns back whoever passes in front of him

رَأَيْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ فِي يَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ يُصَلِّي إِلَى شَىْءٍ يَسْتُرُهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ، فَأَرَادَ شَابٌّ مِنْ بَنِي أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ أَنْ يَجْتَازَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَدَفَعَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ فِي صَدْرِهِ، فَنَظَرَ الشَّابُّ فَلَمْ يَجِدْ مَسَاغًا إِلاَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، فَعَادَ لِيَجْتَازَ فَدَفَعَهُ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ أَشَدَّ مِنَ الأُولَى، فَنَالَ مِنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عَلَى مَرْوَانَ فَشَكَا إِلَيْهِ مَا لَقِيَ مِنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، وَدَخَلَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ خَلْفَهُ عَلَى مَرْوَانَ فَقَالَ مَا لَكَ وَلاِبْنِ أَخِيكَ يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى شَىْءٍ يَسْتُرُهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ، فَأَرَادَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَجْتَازَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَلْيَدْفَعْهُ، فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلْيُقَاتِلْهُ، فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْطَانٌ ".

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَحَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ بْنُ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ هِلاَلٍ الْعَدَوِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو صَالِحٍ السَّمَّانُ قَالَ

Translation

Abu Salih reported: I saw Abu Sa'id al-Khudri on a Friday praying towards something that screened him from the people. A young man from Banu Abi Mu'ayt wanted to pass in front of him, and Abu Sa'id pushed him in the chest. The young man looked around but found no way through except in front of him, so he came back to pass, and Abu Sa'id pushed him harder than the first time. Then he reviled Abu Sa'id. After that he went in to Marwan and complained to him about what he had met with from Abu Sa'id. Abu Sa'id went in to Marwan after him, and (Marwan) said, “What is the matter between you and your brother's son, O Abu Sa'id?” He said, “I heard the Prophet ﷺ say: ‘When one of you prays towards something that screens him from the people, and someone wants to pass in front of him, let him push him back; if he refuses, let him fight him, for he is only a devil.’”

Translator’s note: Marwan (ibn al-Hakam) was then governor of Madinah. “Your brother's son” is a way of referring to a younger brother in faith, meaning the young man.

Abu Salih berichtete: Ich sah Abu Sa'id al-Chudri an einem Freitag zu etwas hin beten, das ihn vor den Leuten abschirmte. Da wollte ein junger Mann von den Banu Abi Mu'ait vor ihm vorbeigehen, und Abu Sa'id stieß ihn vor die Brust. Der junge Mann schaute sich um, fand aber keinen Durchgang außer vor ihm vorbei. Da kehrte er zurück, um vorbeizugehen, und Abu Sa'id stieß ihn heftiger als beim ersten Mal. Da beschimpfte er Abu Sa'id. Dann ging er zu Marwan hinein und beklagte sich bei ihm über das, was ihm von Abu Sa'id widerfahren war. Abu Sa'id ging hinter ihm zu Marwan hinein, und (Marwan) sagte: „Was ist zwischen dir und dem Sohn deines Bruders, o Abu Sa'id?“ Er sagte: „Ich hörte den Propheten ﷺ sagen: ‚Wenn einer von euch zu etwas hin betet, das ihn vor den Leuten abschirmt, und jemand will vor ihm vorbeigehen, dann soll er ihn zurückstoßen; weigert er sich, dann soll er mit ihm kämpfen, denn er ist nur ein Satan.‘“

Translator’s note: Marwan (ibn al-Hakam) war damals Statthalter von Medina. „Sohn deines Bruders“ ist eine Anrede für den jüngeren Glaubensbruder, gemeint ist der junge Mann.

Türkçe

Ebû Sâlih şöyle rivayet etti: Ebû Saîd el-Hudrî'yi (r.a.) bir cuma günü kendisini insanlardan perdeleyen bir şeye doğru namaz kılarken gördüm. Ebû Muayt oğullarından bir genç onun önünden geçmek istedi; Ebû Saîd onu göğsünden itti. Genç etrafına baktı, onun önünden başka geçecek yer bulamadı ve geçmek için tekrar geldi. Ebû Saîd onu ilkinden daha şiddetli itti. Bunun üzerine genç Ebû Saîd'e ağır sözler söyledi. Sonra Mervân'ın yanına girip Ebû Saîd'den gördüğü muameleyi ona şikâyet etti. Ebû Saîd de onun arkasından Mervân'ın yanına girdi. (Mervân): “Ey Ebû Saîd! Kardeşinin oğluyla aranda ne var?” dedi. O da şöyle dedi: “Nebî'yi ﷺ şöyle buyururken işittim: ‘Biriniz kendisini insanlardan perdeleyen bir şeye doğru namaz kılarken biri onun önünden geçmek isterse onu itsin; direnirse onunla dövüşsün; çünkü o ancak bir şeytandır.’”

Translator’s note: Mervân (b. Hakem) o sırada Medine valisiydi. “Kardeşinin oğlu” ifadesi, dindaş olan genç için kullanılan bir hitaptır; kastedilen o gençtir.
