عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يُقِيمُ الرَّجُلُ الرَّجُلَ مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ فَيَجْلِسَ فِيهِ وَلَكِنْ تَفَسَّحُوا وَتَوَسَّعُوا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No man should make another man stand up from his seat and then sit there himself; rather, make room and spread out.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No person should make another person stand up from his seat; rather, make room for each other. Allah Almighty will also create spaciousness for you.
Hadith 9499
عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْبَصْرِيِّ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ دُعِيَ إِلَى شَهَادَةٍ مَرَّةً فَجَاءَ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ فَقَامَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ فَقَالَ نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا قَامَ الرَّجُلُ لِلرَّجُلِ مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ فِيهِ وَعَنْ أَنْ يَمْسَحَ الرَّجُلُ يَدَهُ بِثَوْبِ مَنْ لَا يَمْلِكُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he was called to give testimony. So he came home, and a man stood up from his gathering for him, but he said: When a man stands up from his seat for another man, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade us from sitting in his place, and also forbade that a man should wipe his hands with the garment of a person who does not own it.
Hadith 9500
عَنْ أَبِي الْخَصِيبِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ قَاعِدًا فَجَاءَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ لَهُ فَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ فِيهِ وَقَعَدَ فِي مَكَانٍ آخَرَ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ مَا كَانَ عَلَيْكَ لَوْ قَعَدْتَ فَقَالَ لَمْ أَكُنْ أَقْعُدُ فِي مَقْعَدِكَ وَلَا مَقْعَدِ غَيْرِكَ بَعْدَ شَيْءٍ شَهِدْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَامَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ فَذَهَبَ لِيَجْلِسَ فِيهِ فَنَهَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
It is narrated from Abu Khasib, he says: I was sitting when Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) arrived. A man stood up from his gathering to give him space, but he did not sit in that place; rather, he sat somewhere else. That man said: If you had sat in my place, would there have been any harm upon you? He replied: Neither do I wish to sit in your seat nor in anyone else’s seat, after what I myself witnessed in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The detail is that a man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so another man stood up from his gathering for his sake, and he was about to sit in his place, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade him from sitting there.
Hadith 9501
عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِأَبِي قِلَابَةَ دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَبُوكَ عَلَى ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَحَدَّثَنَا أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَلْقَى لَهُ وِسَادَةً مِنْ أَدَمٍ حَشْوُهَا لِيفٌ فَلَمْ أَقْعُدْ عَلَيْهَا بَقِيَتْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ
It is narrated from Abu Mulaikh, he said to Abu Qilabah: I and your father, we both went to Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), he told us that he went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed a leather cushion for him, its filling was of palm leaves, but he did not sit on it and that cushion remained lying between him and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
Hadith 9502
عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ جَلَسْتُ إِلَى ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَمَعَهُ رَجُلٌ يُحَدِّثُهُ فَدَخَلْتُ مَعَهُمَا فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ صَدْرِي وَقَالَ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا تَنَاجَى اثْنَانِ فَلَا تَجْلِسْ إِلَيْهِمَا حَتَّى تَسْتَأْذِنَهُمَا
Saeed Maqbari says: I came and sat with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), while another man was conversing with him. When I joined them, Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) struck his hand on my chest and said: Do you not know that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When two men are whispering to each other, do not sit with them until you seek their permission.
