On one occasion, Hazrat Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) was called to testify in a matter. When he arrived, a man stood up from his place. Seeing this, Hazrat Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade us from this—that a man stands up from his place and another sits in his place—and also from wiping one's hands with a cloth that does not belong to him.
