اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل , حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ , عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ الشَّهِيدِ , عَنْ أَبِي مِجْلَزٍ , قَالَ : " خَرَجَ مُعَاوِيَةُ عَلَى ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ وَابْنِ عَامِرٍ , فَقَامَ ابْنُ عَامِرٍ وَجَلَسَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ , فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ لِابْنِ عَامِرٍ : اجْلِسْ , فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَمْثُلَ لَهُ الرِّجَالُ قِيَامًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ " .
Narrated Muawiyah: Abu Mijlaz said: Muawiyah went out to Ibn az-Zubayr and Ibn Amir. Ibn Amir got up and Ibn az-Zubayr remained sitting. Muawiyah said to Ibn Amir: Sit down, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Let him who likes people to stand up before him prepare his place in Hell.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊
The Magians (Majus) and other people of ignorance (Ahl al-Jahiliyyah) used to show respect to their elders in this manner, and even now their habit is that they stand up to show respect to an elder, and do not sit down until he himself sits or tells them to sit.
In Islamic law (Shari‘ah), it is forbidden (haram) to demand respect in this manner.
➋ Yes, if someone stands up out of love on his own—especially when stepping forward to shake hands (musafahah) or embrace (mu‘anaqah)—then there is no harm in it, as has been mentioned in the previous chapter "Fi al-Qiyam," hadith 5215.

Explanation:
1:
It is understood from this that standing up for someone out of respect and veneration is disliked (makruh).
However, there is no objection to standing up in order to assist a person who is incapacitated.
Also, if someone from among those sitting moves forward to receive an arriving person and brings him into the gathering and seats him, there is no harm in this, just as Fatimah (radi Allahu anha) used to do for the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
