[1129] 259 - (...) Abû Sâlih As-Sammân said: "I will tell you what I heard and saw from Abû Sa'eed. While I was with Abû Sa'eed, he was praying one Friday facing something that was screening him from the people. A young man from Banû Abî Mu'ait came and wanted to pass in front of him. He pushed him in his chest, and (the young man) looked but could not find any way to get by except by passing in front of Abû Sa'eed. So he came back, and he pushed him in the chest harder than he had the first time. He stood up and insulted Abû Sa'eed, then he pushed through the crowds, and he left, and then he entered upon Marwân and complained to him about what had happened. Abû Sa'eed entered upon Marwân and Marwân said to him: 'What is the matter with you and your brother's son? He came and complained about you.' Abû Sa'eed said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: "If one of you prays facing towards something that is screening him from the people, and someone wants to pass in front of him (and the Sutrah), let him push him in the chest, and if he insists then let him fight him, for he is a devil."
