عن عبد الله بن بسر رضي الله عنه قال جاء رجل يتخطى رقاب الناس يوم الجمعة والنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يخطب فقال له النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم اجلس فقد آذيت (سنن أبي داود رقم 1120)
Hazrat ‘Abdullah bin Busr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that on one occasion a person entered the Musjid on the day of Jumu‘ah while Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was delivering the khutbah. The man began climbing over the shoulders of people (trying to get to the front saff). Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) (reproached him) saying, “Sit down, for certainly you have caused inconvenience (to the people).”
