malik:9-38Yaḥyá > Mālik > Zayd b. Aslam > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī from his father

Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Abd ar- Rahman ibn Abi Said al-Khudri from his father that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not let anyone pass in front of you when you are praying. Repel him as much as you can, and, if he refuses, fight him, for he is only a shaytan."  

مالك:٩-٣٨حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ يُصَلِّي فَلاَ يَدَعْ أَحَدًا يَمُرُّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلْيَدْرَأْهُ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلْيُقَاتِلْهُ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْطَانٌ

When one of you prays, he should not let anyone pass in front of him; he should turn him away as far as possible; but if he refuses (to go), he should fight him, for he is only a devil. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 697)   

البيهقي:٣٤٤٥أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أَخْبَرَنِي دَعْلَجُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ السِّجْزِيُّ ثنا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ التُّرْكُ وَمُوسَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ يَعْنِي الذُّهْلِيَّ قَالَا ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى (ح) وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ كَامِلُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْمُسْتَمْلِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو سَهْلٍ بِشْرُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْإِسْفَرَايِينِيُّ ثنا دَاوُدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ يُصَلِّي فَلَا يَدَعْ أَحَدًا يَمُرُّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلْيَدْرَأْهُ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلْيُقَاتِلْهُ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْطَانٌ  

رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَحْيَى
suyuti:2446a

"إِذا كانَ أحدُكُمْ يُصَلِّي فلا يَدَع أحدًا يَمرُّ بينَ يديه، وليدْرَأهُ ما استطاع؛ فإِنْ أبَى فليُقاتِلهُ؛ فإِنَّما هو شيطانٌ".
