The noble Prophet (PBUH) came upon a group of people on the street, and admonished them thus:
"refrain from sitting in the street".
The people pleaded, "O Messenger of Allah, we cannot help sitting in the streets, because there is no other place we can sit and discuss matters". In that case, advised the wise Prophet (PBUH),
"fulfil the obligations of the street: straining of looks, removal of obstruction. reciprocating greetings, enjoining good and forbidding evil." (BukhaRI)
