Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِذَا مَرَّ بَيْنَ يَدَىْ أَحَدِكُمْ شَىْءٌ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَلْيَمْنَعْهُ، فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلْيَمْنَعْهُ، فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلْيُقَاتِلْهُ، فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْطَانٌ ".
Translation
Abu Maʿmar narrated to us: ʿAbd al-Warith narrated to us: Yunus narrated to us, from Humayd ibn Hilal, from Abu Salih, from Abu Saʿid, who said: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘If something tries to pass in front of one of you while he is praying, let him stop it. If it refuses, let him stop it again. If it refuses, let him fight it, for it is only a devil.’
