    The Exposition of the Rights of the Road and Its
    Etiquette


    It is narrated from Abu Sa`id (ra) that Allah's
    Messenger ﷺ said: "Beware of sitting in the
    roadways."They said: "O Messenger of Allah, We have
    necessities which we address in our gatherings."He
    replied: "If you must have your gatherings, then give
    the road its right."They said: "O Messenger of Allah,
    and what is the right of the road?"He said:

    "[1.] Lowering the gaze,

    [2.] Refraining from harm,

    [3.] Returning the salaam,

    [4.] Commanding good and forbidding evil."

    It was narrated by the Two Shaykhs. It is also
    narrated by Abu Dawud whose narration adds: "And
    giving directions."Al-Tabarani's version adds: "And
    rescuing the one in sorrow."
