He said: ‘If you people must do this, then return the Salām, assist the wronged, and give directions to the one who is on the route.’” (Saḥīḥ)

Commentary
This Hadīth guides that sitting on the pathways unnecessarily is not allowed,
but if it is unavoidable, due to some reason, then it demands some manners, of which only three are mentioned here: a: Answering those who say Salām; b: If any wrongdoing is noticed against someone, it should be stopped and the victim should be helped; c: If one asks for directions or one is lost, he should be guided and told the route.
