عن أبي الجهيم عبد الله بن الحارث بن الصمة الأنصاري رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏:‏ ‏

‏لو يعلم المار بين المصلي ماذا عليه لكان أن يقف أربعين خيرًا له من أن يمر بين يديه‏

Abul-Juhaim 'Abdullah bin Al-Harith (May Allah be pleased with him) said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "If the person who passes in front of a praying person, realizes the enormity of the sinfulness of this act, it will have been better for him to wait forty than to pass in front of him." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. [The narrator was not sure whether the Prophet (ﷺ) said forty days, months or years.]
