The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Avoid sitting on roadsides

Kiarabu

وعن أبي سعيد الخُدري رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: "إياكم والجلوس في الطرقات". قالوا: يا رسول الله ما لنا من مجالسنا بُد نتحدث فيها. فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : "فإذا أبيتم إلا المجلس، فأعطوا الطريق حقه" قالوا: وما حق الطريق يا رسول الله؟ قال: "غض البصر، وكف الأذى، ورد السلام، والأمر المعروف والنهي عن المنكر" ((متفق عليه)).

Tafsiri ya Kiswahili

Kutoka kwa Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake) said: "Mtume (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake) said, "Avoid sitting on roadsides." His Companions said: "O Mjumbe wa Allah (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake), there is no other alternative but to sit there to talk." Thereupon the Mjumbe wa Allah (Rehema na amani za Allah ziwe juu yake) said, "If you have to sit at all, then fulfill the rights of the road." They asked: "What are their rights?" Thereupon he said, "Lowering the gaze (so that you may not stare at unhalali things); refraining from doing some harm to others, responding to greeting (i.e., saying 'Wa'alaikumus- salam' to one another) and commanding the good and forbidding the evil."."
