The rights of the road

"Beware! Avoid sitting on the roads." 

They (the people) said, "O Allah's Messenger! We can't help sitting (on the roads) as these are (our places) here we have talks."

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ' lf you refuse but to sit, then pay the road its right '

They said, "What is the right of the road, O Allah's Apostle?"

He (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'Lowering your gaze, refraining from harming others, returning greeting, and enjoining what is good, and forbidding what is evil."
