it is very important to make the person stop the wrong deed so that it does not get any worse and so that there is no delay in the denunciation of evil. ‘umar reported that he said, “no, by my father.” the messenger of allaah (peace and blessings of allaah be upon him) said,

“stop! whoever swears by something other than allaah, is guilty of shirk.” (reported by imaam ahmad, 1/47. ahmad shaakir said, its isnaad is saheeh. no. 329)

abu dawood reported in his sunan that ‘abd-allaah ibn busr (may allaah be pleased with him) said, “a man came stepping over the necks on the people (in the mosque) one friday, whilst the prophet (peace and blessings of allaah be upon him) was delivering the khutbah. the prophet (peace and blessings of allaah be upon him) said,

‘sit down! you are causing a disturbance.’”

al-tirmidhi reported that ibn ‘umar said: “a man burped in the presence of the prophet (peace and blessings of allaah be upon him). he said,

‘keep your burps away from us! the ones who fill their stomachs most in this world, will be the ones who remain hungry longest on the day of resurrection. (abu ‘eesa said, this is a ghareeb hasan hadeeth with this isnaad. sunan al-tirmidhi, no. 2478; al-silsilat al-saheehah, no. 343.)

these ahaadeeth show a direct request to the person who is making the mistake to stop what he is doing
