حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا مُجَالِدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَدَّاكِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَرَّ شَابٌّ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَدَفَعَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ عَادَ فَدَفَعَهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ لَا يَقْطَعُهَا شَيْءٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَكِنْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ ادْرَءُوا مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ فَإِنَّهُ شَيْطَانٌ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ إِذَا تَنَازَعَ الْخَبَرَانِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نُظِرَ إِلَى مَا عَمِلَ بِهِ أَصْحَابُهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ.

A youth from the Quraish passed in front of Abu Saeed Al-Khudri رضی اللہ عنہ who was praying. He repulsed him. He returned again. He then repulsed him for the third time. When he finished the prayer, he said: Nothing cuts off prayer; but the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Repulse as much as you can, for he is just a devil. Abu Dawud said: If two traditions of the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم conflict, the practice of the Companions after him should be taken into consideration.
