The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade passing in front of a worshipper, and it is narrated in the Hadith: "If the one who passes in front of a worshipper knew what was upon him, standing for forty would be better for him than passing in front of him." There is no specific expiation, but whoever does so intentionally must repent and seek forgiveness.
