Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Avoid sitting on the roads. The companions said: O Messenger of Allah! There is no alternative for our gatherings; we have to talk on the roads. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you insist, then give the road its due right. They asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is the right of the road? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Lowering the gaze, not causing harm, responding to greetings, enjoining good, and forbidding evil.
