اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: نَهَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُقِيمَ الرَّجُلَ مِنَ الْمَجْلِسِ ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ فِيهِ. ¤ وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ إِذَا قَامَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ لَمْ يَجْلِسْ فِيهِ.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Usman Muneeb
Benefits and Issues:
To remove someone and sit in their place is an infringement upon the rights of others; therefore, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) forbade doing so and instead commanded that space should be made in gatherings. Even if someone voluntarily offers their place, as a precaution, one should not sit there either, because sometimes removal occurs verbally, and sometimes it is caused by the awe of status and rank. For this reason, if anyone vacated a seat for Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (radi Allahu anhuma), he would still not sit there.
