945. It was narrated from Busr bin Sa'eed that Zaid bin Khâlid sent word to Abu Juhaim Al-Ansâri asking him: "What did you hear from the Prophet ﷺ about a man who passes in front of another man when he is performing prayer?" He said: "I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying: 'If anyone of you knew (how great is the sin involved) when he passes in front of his brother who is performing prayer, then waiting for forty,''' (one of the narrators) said: "I do not know if he meant forty years, forty months, or forty days, 'would be better for him than that." (Sahih)

945 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ أَبِي النَّضْرِ، عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ خَالِدٍ، أَرْسَلَ إِلَى أَبِي جُهَيْمٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ يَسْأَلُهُ: مَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الرَّجُلِ يَمُرُّ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الرَّجُلِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي؟ فَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «لَوْ يَعْلَمُ أَحَدُكُمْ مَا لَهُ أَنْ يَمُرَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَخِيهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي، كَانَ لَأَنْ يَقِفَ أَرْبَعِينَ» قَالَ: لَا أَدْرِي أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا، أَوْ أَرْبَعِينَ شَهْرًا، أَوْ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا «خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ»
