863. It was narrated that Abū Rāfi' said: "After the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ had prayed 'Asr', he would go to Banu 'Abdul-Ashhal to speak to them, until the time for Maghrib came." Abū Rāfi' said: "While the Prophet ﷺ was hastening to pray Maghrib, we passed by Al-Baqi[1] and he said: 'Fie on you, fie on you!' That upset me so I slowed down, because I thought that he meant me. He said: 'What is the matter with you? Keep up!' I said: 'Is there something wrong?' He said: 'Why are you asking that?' I said: 'Because you said: "Fie on you" to me.' He said: 'No, that was so-and-so whom I had sent to collect Zakâh from the tribe of so-and-so, and he stole a Namirah[2] and now he is clothed with something similar made of Fire.'" (Hasan)

862 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ سَوَّادِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ مَنْبُوذٍ، عَنْ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ ذَهَبَ إِلَى بَنِي عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ فَيَتَحَدَّثُ عِنْدَهُمْ حَتَّى يَنْحَدِرَ لِلْمَغْرِبِ قَالَ أَبُو رَافِعٍ: فَبَيْنَمَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُسْرِعُ إِلَى الْمَغْرِبِ مَرَرْنَا بِالْبَقِيعِ فَقَالَ: «أُفٍّ لَكَ. أُفٍّ لَكَ». قَالَ: فَكَبُرَ ذَلِكَ فِي ذَرْعِي، فَاسْتَأْخَرْتُ وَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ يُرِيدُنِي فَقَالَ: «مَا لَكَ امْشِ». فَقُلْتُ: أَحْدَثْتَ حَدَثًا؟ قَالَ: «مَا ذَاكَ؟» قُلْتُ: أَفَّفْتَ بِي؟ قَالَ: «لَا. وَلَكِنْ هَذَا فُلَانٌ بَعَثْتُهُ سَاعِيًا عَلَى بَنِي فُلَانٍ فَغَلَّ نَمِرَةً فَدُرِّعَ الْآنَ مِثْلُهَا مِنْ نَارٍ»

Commentary

If the time is short and the congregation has already been set up, one may walk in a manner and with a pace that is not disrespectful to the mosque or the prayer and that does not lessen one's sense of dignity.
