Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "Beware of sitting in the road." They said,
"Messenger of Allah, we must meet where we can sit to talk." The Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If you must do
it, then give the road its due. "What is the due of the road, Messenger
of Allah," they asked. He replied, "Lowering the eye, avoiding doing anything
harmful, commanding the correct and forbidding the bad."
