[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has determined that when people differ in their ways, it is seven cubits.  

أحمد:١٠٤١٧ – حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عِيسَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ حَازِمٍ عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْخِرِّيتِ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا اخْتَلَفَ النَّاسُ فِي طُرُقِهِمْ أَنَّهَا سَبْعُ أَذْرُعٍ

When you disagree about a path, its breadth should be made seven cubits.  

مسلم:١٦١٣ – حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو كَامِلٍ فُضَيْلُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ الْمُخْتَارِ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا اخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِي الطَّرِيقِ جُعِلَ عَرْضُهُ سَبْعَ أَذْرُعٍ
