A youth from the Quraish passed in front of Abu Sa’id al-Khudri who was praying. He repulsed him. He returned again. He then repulsed him for the third time. When he finished the prayer, he said: Nothing cuts off prayer; but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Repulse as much as you can, for he is just a devil. Abu Dawud said: If two traditions of the prophet ﷺ conflict, the practice of the Companions after him should be taken into consideration. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 720)   

مَرَّ شَابٌّ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَدَفَعَهُ ثُمَّ عَادَ فَدَفَعَهُ ثُمَّ عَادَ فَدَفَعَهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ لَا يَقْطَعُهَا شَيْءٌ وَلَكِنْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ادْرَءُوا مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ فَإِنَّهُ شَيْطَانٌ
