Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Ata ibn
Yasar that Kab al-Ahbar said, "If the person who passed in front of a
man praying knew what he was bringing on himself, it would be better
for him to sink into the ground than to pass in front of him."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'n Nadr, the mawla of Umar
ibn Ubaydullah from Busr ibn Said that Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhani sent
him to Abu Juhaym to ask him what he had heard from the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, about passing in front
of someone praying. Abu Juhaym said, "The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'If the one who passes in
front of a man praying knew what he was bringing upon himself it would
be better for him to stop for forty than to pass in front of him.' "
