English translation

720. Abū Al-Waddāk said: "A youth from the Quraish passed in front of Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī while he was praying, so he pushed him away. The youth came back, but he pushed him again — three times. When he finished (the prayer), he said: 'Nothing nullifies the prayer, but the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Prevent (people from crossing) as much as you can, for he is a Shaitān.''" (Hasan) Abū Dāwūd said: If two narrations from the Prophet ﷺ differ with each other, then the actions of the Companions [may Allāh be pleased with him] after him are considered.

Arabic text

720 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُجَالِدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَدَّاكِ، قَالَ: مَرَّ شَابٌّ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَدَفَعَهُ ثُمَّ عَادَ فَدَفَعَهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ: إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ لَا يَقْطَعُهَا شَيْءٌ وَلَكِنْ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «ادْرَءُوا مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ فَإِنَّهُ شَيْطَانٌ»، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «إِذَا تَنَازَعَ الْخَبَرَانِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نُظِرَ إِلَى مَا عَمِلَ بِهِ أَصْحَابُهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ»

Commentary

These narrations prove that lying and sleeping in front of a praying person, and crossing in front of him are two different things. THE CHAPTERS RELATED TO THE BEGINNING OF THE PRAYER
