حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ
إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ يُصَلِّي فَلاَ يَدَعْ أَحَدًا يَمُرُّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلْيَدْرَأْهُ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلْيُقَاتِلْهُ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْطَانٌ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Abd ar- Rahman ibn Abi Said al-Khudri from his father that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not let anyone pass in front of you when you are praying. Repel him as much as you can, and, if he refuses, fight him, for he is only a shaytan."

الصحيح ما في الموطأ مالك عن زيد بن أسلم عن عبد الرحمن بن أبي سعيد عن أبيه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وحديث زيد بن أسلم عن عطاء خطأ
in موطأ مالك, p. 335 - أبو زرعة الرازي
سألت أبا زرعة عن حديث رواه يعقوب بن حميد بن كاسب عن عبد العزيز الدراوردي عن صفوان بن سليم عن عطاء بن يسار عن أبي سعيد الخدري وعن زيد بن أسلم عن عبد الرحمن بن أبي سعيد عن أبي سعيد عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال إذا صلى أحدكم فلا يدعن أحدا يمر بين يديه فقال أبو زرعة حديث زيد بن أسلم صحيح ورواه مالك وحديث صفوان لا أدري أي شيء هو
machine translationI asked Abū Zurʿah about a hadith narrated by Yaʿqūb b. Ḥumayd b. Kāsib, from ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Darāwardī, from Ṣafwān b. Sulaym, from ʿAṭāʾ b. Yasār, from Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī; and from Zayd b. Aslam, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Abī Saʿīd, from Abū Saʿīd, from the Prophet ﷺ, that he said: "When one of you prays, let him not allow anyone to pass in front of him." Abū Zurʿah said: The hadith of Zayd b. Aslam is sound (ṣaḥīḥ), and Mālik narrated it. As for the hadith of Ṣafwān, I do not know what it is.
