Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "None of you should make his brother get up from his place and then sit in it himself." Nafi’ says that I asked, "Is this command for the day of Jumu’ah?" He replied, "This command is for the day of Jumu’ah and for other days as well." Nafi’ says that if anyone got up from his place for Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), he would not sit in that place.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When any one of you gets up from his place and then returns, he has more right to that place." Yunus has added this: "Then a person got up from his place, so I sat in his place. When he returned, Abu Salih made me get up."

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) forbade that a person should make his brother get up from his place and then sit in that place himself. Rather, you should make room and create space for each other.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering a sermon while standing when a trade caravan arrived from Syria. So people (leaving you) went towards it, until only twelve men remained. Then this verse of Surah Al-Jumu'ah was revealed «‏‏‏‏وَإِذَا رَأَوْا تِجَارَةً أَوْ لَهْوًا انفَضُّوا إِلَيْهَا وَتَرَكُوكَ قَائِمًا» ‏‏‏‏ [ سورة الجمعة: 11 ] "And when they see a trade or amusement, they rush towards it and leave you standing."
