The prophet said to the people, "Do not congregate in the road."
The people said, "We have no choice, for we have no other place to gather and talk."
The prophet said, "If you must congregate in the way, observe the Seven Rights of the Way."
"The first right of the way is to greet others and to return greetings."
"The second right of the way is to avert the gaze from that which should not be gazed upon, such as other men's wealth, other men's women, and other men's children."
"The third right of the way is to do no harm."
"The fourth right of the way is to enjoin good and forbid evil."
"The fifth right of the way is to remove harm from the way."
"The sixth right of the way is to give directions to travelers."
"The seventh right of the way is to not excrete in the way or under the trees where travelers must rest."
