Hadith 12345

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : " مَا كَانَ شَخْصٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَكَانُوا إِذَا رَأَوْهُ لَمْ يَقُومُوا ، لِمَا يَعْلَمُوا مِنْ كَرَاهِيَتِهِ لِذَلِكَ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the eyes of the noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them), there was no one more beloved than the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but they would not stand up upon seeing the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) because they knew that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not consider it good.
