Hadith 1820

Abu al-Zahriyyah reported: "We were with Abdullah ibn Busr, a companion of the Prophet (ﷺ), on Friday when a man came stepping over people’s necks. Abdullah ibn Busr said: ‘A man came stepping over people’s necks on Friday while the Prophet (ﷺ) was delivering the sermon. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him: “Sit down, for you have caused harm.”’" [Narrated by Abu Dawud and Al-Nasa’i with a good chain] In a narration by Ahmad from the Prophet (ﷺ) that he said: ‘The one who steps over people’s necks and separates two people after the Imam has come out is like one who throws a stick into the fire.’ The narration by Al-Tabarani is same with addition: ‘I saw you stepping over people’s necks and harming them. Whoever harms a Muslim has harmed me, and whoever harms me has harmed Allah, the Almighty.’
