Abdur Rahman bin Abi Amrah Ansari reports that Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) was informed of a funeral in his tribe. He was delayed until the people had already sat in their places. Then he came, and when the people saw him coming, they began to make room for him. Some of them stood up so that he could sit in their place. He then said: Listen! Indeed, I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The best gatherings are those which are spacious." Then he moved aside and sat in an open space.
