The ruling on passing by those heading to prayer and commanding them to pray

Question:
And other than that, some people leave their homes for the mosque after the adhan and are already in the state of prayer, so one claims

Answer:
If they are being lazy and delaying, then it is fine for him to pass by them and say to them, "Pray." But if they are walking to prayer and preparing, there is no need for him to pass by them and tell them to pray while they are preparing and walking to prayer. The adhan is sufficient for them, and these people are obedient and walking to prayer; there is no need for him to go to them. Some of the Salaf used to disapprove of this and say, "The adhan is sufficient." This applies to those for whom the adhan is sufficient. As for those for whom the adhan is not sufficient, who delay and are lazy, this is an evil that must be disapproved of. That is, they must be commanded to pray, and the men of the hisbah (public order) must be informed about them, and whatever is possible must be done to guide them, rectify them, and ensure their attendance at prayer.
