It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade sitting on the“thresholds”in front of houses. So the people said: O Messenger of Allah! Staying inside the houses is difficult for us. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“If you have no other option, then fulfill the rights of these gatherings.”They asked: O Messenger of Allah! What are their rights? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Guiding the one who asks for directions, responding to greetings, lowering the gaze, enjoining good, and forbidding evil.”
