بَابُ يَجْلِسُ الرَّجُلُ حَيْثُ انْتَهَىChapter: Sitting where one finds space
Hadith 1141
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الطُّفَيْلِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ: كُنَّا إِذَا أَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَلَسَ أَحَدُنَا حَيْثُ انْتَهَى.
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.
