وحَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْقِلٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، عن النبي ، قَالَ : " لَا يُقِيمَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ ، ثُمَّ لَيُخَالِفْ إِلَى مَقْعَدِهِ فَيَقْعُدَ فِيهِ ، وَلَكِنْ يَقُولُ افْسَحُوا " .
Jabir reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) (may peace he upon him) as saying: None amongst you should make his brother stand on Friday (during the congregational prayer) and then occupy his place, but he should only say to him (Accommodate me).

Hadith Commentary:
Benefits and Issues:
Generally, making someone stand up and taking his place occurs on the day of Jumu‘ah (Friday). That is why the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) specifically pointed this out. Otherwise, the ruling is general; it is not restricted to any particular day or place.
