[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ forbade people from sitting in the pathways. They said, "We are not able to do that and we cannot bear it, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "If you are not able to do that, then fulfill its right." They asked, "What is its right, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Lowering the greeting when passing by, responding to the sneezer when he praises Allah, lowering the gaze, and guiding the way."  

الحاكم:٧٦٨٨أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ ثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَجْلِسُوا بِأَفْنِيَةِ الصُّعُدَاتِ قَالُوا إِنَّا لَا نَسْتَطِيعُ ذَاكَ وَلَا نُطِيقُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «أَمَّا لَا فَأَدُّوا حَقَّهَا» قَالُوا وَمَا حَقُّهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «رَدُّ التَّحِيَّةِ وَتَشْمِيتُ الْعَاطِسِ إِذَا حَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَغَضُّ الْبَصَرِ وَإِرْشَادُ السَّبِيلِ»
