It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Basrah Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him), he says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When you pass by the Jews, do not greet them with Salam, and if they greet you with Salam, then in reply only say «وعليكم» 'And upon you as well.'"

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: The Jews used to come to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and say «اَلسَّامُ عَلَيكُم» (may destruction and death be upon you) instead of «السلام عليكم» . The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would reply: «وعليكم» "And upon you as well." Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) understood their (the Jews') words and spoke harshly to them (and in one narration, she said: Rather, may destruction and condemnation be upon you). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Aisha, leave it! Do not use unpleasant words, for indeed Allah dislikes foul and abusive language." She said: O Messenger of Allah! But they were saying this to you? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Did I not respond to them (in a good manner)?" Then Allah the Exalted revealed this verse: «وَإِذَا جَاءُوكَ حَيَّوْكَ بِمَا لَمْ يُحَيِّكَ بِهِ اللَّهُ» "And when they come to you, they greet you with words with which Allah does not greet you," to the end of the verse (Surah Al-Mujadila: 8).

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that a Jew came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and (instead of saying "As-Salamu Alaikum") said: O Muhammad! «اَلسَّامُ عَلَيكُم» (i.e., death and destruction be upon you). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied:“ «وَ عَلَيكَ» And upon you as well.”Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I wanted to say something, but I knew that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would dislike it, so I remained silent. Another Jew came and said: «اَلسَّامُ عَلَيكُم» (death and destruction be upon you). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“ «وعليك» (and upon you as well).”This time too, I wanted to say something, but due to the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) dislike, I remained silent. Then a third Jew came and said: «اَلسَّامُ عَلَيكُم» . I could not remain patient and I spoke out: O apes and swine! Destruction be upon you, Allah’s wrath and His curse be upon you. Do you want to adopt the manner in which Allah did not send peace upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Allah does not like foul language and obscenity. They said «اَلسَّامُ عَلَيكُم» and we also (avoiding foul language, simply by saying «وعليك» ) replied. In fact, the Jews are a jealous people and they do not envy us for any trait as much as they envy us for Salam and Ameen.”

Mus'ab bin Shaybah narrates from his father that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a person arrives at a gathering and space is made for him, he should sit down; otherwise, he should look for the place that is more spacious and sit there."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When any one of you gets up from a gathering and then returns, he is more entitled to that place."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When three people are together, two of them should not whisper to each other excluding the third."

Saeed Maqbari says: A man was talking to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), and I also went and sat there. Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) struck his hand on my chest and said: "Do you not know that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'When two people are having a private conversation, do not sit with them without their permission.'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade sitting between two people without their permission.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that when we would come to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), we would sit wherever the gathering ended.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "No man should stand up from his seat for another, rather make space in the gathering for each other, Allah the Exalted will grant you spaciousness."
