Abu Salih al-Samman reported: I narrate to you what I heard and saw from Abu Said al-Khudri (RA) : One day I was with Abu Said and he was saying prayer on Friday turning to a thing which concealed him from the people when a young man from Banu Muait came there and he tried to pass in front of him; he turned him back by striking his chest. He looked about but finding no other way to pass except in front of Abu Said, made a second attempt. He (Abu Said) turned him away by striking his chest more vigorously than the first stroke. He stood up and had a scuffle with Abu Said. Then the people gathered there. He came out and went to Marwan and complained to him what had happened to him. Abu Said too came to Marwan. Marwin said to him: What has happened to you and the son of your brother that he came to complain against you? Abu Said said: I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: When any one of you prays facing something which conceals him from people and anyone tries to pass in front of him, he should be turned away, but if he refuses, he should be forcibly restrained from it, for he is a devil.
