944. Busr bin Sa'eed said: "They sent me to Zaid bin Khâlid to ask him about passing in front of one who is performing prayer. He told me that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Waiting for forty is better than passing in front of one who is performing prayer.'" (Sahih) (One of the narrators) Sufyân said: "I do not know if he meant forty years, months, days, or hours."
944 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ أَبِي النَّضْرِ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: أَرْسَلُونِي إِلَى زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الْمُرُورِ، بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الْمُصَلِّي، فَأَخْبَرَنِي عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَأَنْ يَقُومَ أَرْبَعِينَ، خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَمُرَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ» قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: فَلَا أَدْرِي أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، أَوْ شَهْرًا، أَوْ صَبَاحًا، أَوْ سَاعَةً

a. Passing in front of one who is performing prayer is a sin of such magnitude, that even waiting for long periods of time for it is worth the wait. b. The narrators of Ahâdîth were so discreet in narrating a Hadîth that they made it a point to mention any point of doubt in its wording or detail.
