Primary text
It is disliked for one entering the mosque to step over the necks of the people. This is based on the statement of the Prophet, peace be upon him: "Do not separate between two [people]." Furthermore, the Prophet stated regarding one who came stepping over people's necks on Friday: "Sit down, for you have caused annoyance and delay." Another narration states that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: "Whoever steps over the necks of the people on Friday will have built a bridge to Hellfire." This hadith is narrated by Abu Dawud and Al-Tirmidhi.

The narration regarding building a bridge to Hellfire is known only through Rushdin ibn Sa'd, whose memory has been weakened by some scholars.
