It is narrated from Abdur Rahman bin Abi Amrah Ansari (may Allah have mercy on him), he said that when Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) was informed of a funeral, he was delayed, until the people, waiting, sat down in their respective places. Then he came later; when the people saw him, they quickly moved aside from the front and several people stood up so that they could seat him in their place. He said: I will not sit. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "The best gathering is the one which is spacious." Then he moved to the side and sat in the spacious part of the gathering.

It is narrated from Munqidh bin Qais (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) would often sit facing the Qiblah. So, when Yazid bin Abdullah bin Qasit recited Surah As-Sajdah after sunrise, he performed a prostration, and they (the people) also performed a prostration, except for Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both). Then, when the sun had fully risen, he unfolded his cloak, then performed a prostration and said: "Did you see your companions' prostration? They performed prostration at a time when it was not the time for prayer."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), who narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he (peace be upon him) said: "When any one of you gets up from his seat and then returns, he is more deserving of that place."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us while we were children. He (peace be upon him) greeted us with salam and sent me for some task, and he sat down on the way and waited for me until I returned. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I was late in going to (my mother) Sayyida Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her), so she asked: Why were you late? I said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had sent me for a task. She asked: For what task did he send you? I said: It was a confidential matter. She said: Then safeguard the secret of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "None of you should make someone get up from his place and then sit there himself; rather, make room and spread out."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) that when we used to come to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), we would sit wherever we found a place.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "It is not lawful for a man to separate two people sitting together by sitting between them, except with their permission."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was wounded, I was among those who carried him to his house. He said to me: "My nephew! Go and see who has wounded me and who else has been wounded along with me." So I went and returned to find the house full. I disliked stepping over people's necks, and I was young, so I sat down. Whenever Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sent someone for a task, he would order that he be informed of the matter. He was wrapped in cloth when Sayyiduna Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) came and said: "By Allah! If the Commander of the Believers prays, Allah will surely grant him life, and will surely grant elevation to this Ummah through him, until they will do such and such." He mentioned the hypocrites and named some and indicated about others. I said: "Shall I tell him what you said?" He said: "The very purpose of my telling you is that you convey this to him." So I gathered courage, stood up, and stepped over people's necks until I sat by the head of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). I said: "You sent me for such and such task, and along with you, such and such thirteen men have been wounded, and Kulaib the butcher was also struck with a spear while he was performing ablution by the stone tub. And Ka'b is swearing by Allah and saying this." He said: "Call Ka'b to me." So he was called, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "What do you say?" He said: "I say this." He said: "No, by Allah, I will not pray, but Umar is wretched if Allah does not forgive him."

It is narrated from Imam Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) that a man came to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them). Other people were also present. He began to step over people's necks to move forward, so the people stopped him. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Let this man come. He moved forward and sat near him and said: Tell me a hadith that you heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "A Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand other Muslims are safe, and a Muhajir (emigrant) is the one who leaves what Allah has forbidden."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), he said: In my view, the most honorable among people is my companion.
