As for this man, he has disobeyed the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him)

عن أبي الشعثاء، قال: كنا قُعُودًا مع أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه في المسجد، فأذن المؤذن، فقام رجل من المسجد يمشي، فأَتْبَعَهُ أبو هريرة بَصَرَهُ حتى خرج من المسجد، فقال أبو هريرة: أما هذا فقد عصى أبا القاسم صلى الله عليه وسلم .

Abu Ash-Sha‘thā' reported: As we were sitting in the mosque with Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) the Muezzin proclaimed the Adhān and then a man stood up in the mosque and started walking out. Abu Hurayrah followed him with his eyes until he went out of the mosque. Thereupon, Abu Hurayrah said: "As for this man, he has disobeyed the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)."
