English translation
2465. Narrated Abū Sa'īd Al-Khudrī رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Beware! Avoid sitting on the roads (ways)." The people said, "There is no way out of it as these are our sitting places where we have talks." The Prophet ﷺ said, "If you must sit there, then observe the rights of the way." They asked, "What are the rights of the way?" He said, "They are the lowering of your gazes (on seeing what is illegal to look at), refraining from harming people, returning greetings, enjoining Al-Ma'rūf (i.e., Islāmic Monotheism and all that Islām orders one to do) and forbidding Al-Munkar (i.e., polytheism, disbelief, and all that Islām has forbidden)."
