6229. Narrated Abū Sa'īd Al-Khudrī رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Beware! Avoid sitting on the roads." They (the people) said, "O Allāh's Messenger! We can't help sitting (on the roads) as these are (our places) where we have talks." The Prophet ﷺ said, "If you refuse but to sit, then pay the road its right." They asked, "What is the right of the road, O Allāh's Messenger?" He said, "Lowering your gaze, refraining from harming others, returning greetings and enjoining what is Al-Ma'rūf (Islāmic Monotheism and all that which Islām orders one to do), and forbidding what is Al-Munkar (disbelief, polytheism of all kinds and every evil deed)."
