4815. It was narrated from Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Beware of sitting in the streets." They said: "O Messenger of Allāh, we have nowhere else to sit and talk." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "If you insist, then give the street its rights." They said: "What are the rights of the street, O Messenger of Allāh?" He said: "Lowering the gaze, refraining from causing harm, returning greetings and enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil." (Sahih)

Commentary
Sitting idly and merely conversing in streets and roadsides without any genuine reason is against good manners. If it is necessary to sit on the pathway then the mentioned orders in the narration must be kept in mind.
