Suhail bin Abi Salih (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I was sitting with my father and a servant was also sitting with him. The servant stood up and I went and sat in his place. My father said to me, "Get up from his place, because Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) told us that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When any one of you gets up from his place and goes away, then upon returning, he is most entitled to that place."
