Ibn Umar reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "None of you should make another man get up from his seat and then sit in it himself, but rather make room and expand for one another."

874/1141 (Sahih li-ghayrih) from Jabir ibn Samurah who said: "When we came to the Prophet, peace be upon him, each of us would sit wherever he found a place."

875/1142 (Hasan) from Abdullah ibn Amr; that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "It is not permissible for a man to separate between two people except with their permission."

876/1144 (Sahih) From al-Sha'bi who said: A man came to Abdullah ibn Amr—while the people were sitting with him—stepping over to reach him, but they prevented him. He said: Leave the man. So he came and sat with him and said: Tell me something you heard from the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, say: "The Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe, and the emigrant is the one who abandons what Allah has forbidden."

877/1145 (Sahih al-Isnad) from Ibn Abbas: "The most honored of people to me is my companion who sits with me."

878/1147 (Hasan al-Isnad) from Kathir ibn Murrah who said: I entered the mosque on Friday and found Awf ibn Malik al-Ashja'i sitting in a circle, stretching out his legs in front of him. When he saw me, he drew in his legs, then said to me: "Do you know why I stretched out my legs? So that a righteous man would come and sit."

879/1148 (Hasan) From al-Harith ibn Amr al-Sahmi who said: I came to the Prophet, peace be upon him, while he was at Mina – or at Arafat – and the people had gathered around him, and the Bedouins would come, and when they saw his face, they would say: "This is a blessed face." I said: "O Messenger of Allah! Ask forgiveness for me." He said: "O Allah, forgive us." So I went around and said: "Ask forgiveness for me." He said: "O Allah, forgive us." So I went around and said: "Ask forgiveness for me." He said: "O Allah, forgive us." Then he took [يبزق، فقال] )(1) with his hand [فأخذ بها] (1) his saliva, and wiped it on his sandal, disliking that it should touch anyone around him.

880/1149 (Sahih) From Abu Huraira: That the Prophet, peace be upon him, forbade sitting in the pathways. They said: O Messenger of Allah! It is difficult for us to sit in our houses. He said: "If you must sit, then give the pathways their due." They said: And what is their due, O Messenger of Allah? He said: "Lowering the gaze, responding to greetings, guiding the one who is lost, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong."

881/1150 (Sahih) From Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Beware of sitting in the roads." They said: O Messenger of Allah! We have no choice but to have our gatherings in them to talk. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "If you must, then give the road its right." They said: And what is the right of the road, O Messenger of Allah? He said: "Lowering the gaze, refraining from harm, enjoining what is right, and forbidding what is wrong."

882/1151 (Sahih) From Abu Musa al-Ash'ari who said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, went out one day to a garden from the gardens of Medina for his need, and I went out following him. When he entered the garden, I sat at its door and said: "Today I will be the doorkeeper of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him," though he did not command me (1). The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, went and fulfilled his need, then sat on the edge of the well, uncovered his shins, and dangled them in the well. Then Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, came seeking permission to enter. I said: "Wait until I seek permission for you." So he stood, and I came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Abu Bakr seeks permission to enter." He said: "Give him permission, and give him glad tidings of Paradise." So he entered and sat on the right of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, uncovered his shins, and dangled them in the well. Then Umar came, and I said: "Wait until I seek permission for you." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Give him permission, and give him glad tidings of Paradise." Umar came and sat on the left of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, uncovered his shins, and dangled them in the well, so the edge was filled, and there was no more space. Then Uthman came, and I said: "Wait until I seek permission for you." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Give him permission, and give him glad tidings of Paradise along with a trial that will befall him." He entered, but did not find a place with them, so he moved until he came opposite them, at the edge of the well, uncovered his shins, then dangled them in the well. I began to wish that a brother of mine would come, and I prayed to Allah that he would come, but he did not come until they stood up. Ibn al-Musayyib said: I interpreted that as their graves; they were gathered here, and Uthman was alone.
