‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No man should move another from the place he is sitting then sit in it. Instead, make room and spread out."
Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim
This Hadīth includes two of the etiquettes related to gatherings: 1. It is not permissible for one person to make another leave the place he is sitting in - which he got to before him - and then sit in it. 2. It is obligatory for those who are present to spread out to find a place for a newcomer among them. Allah, the Exalted, says (what means): {O you who believe! When you are told to make room in the assemblies, spread out and make room and Allah will give you ample room.} [Sūrat al-Mujādilah: 11]
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If anyone of you is invited, let him answer the invitation. If he is fasting, let him supplicate (for the inviter); if he is not fasting, let him eat."
Narrated by Muslim
This Hadīth shows that if a Muslim invites his brother to a marriage banquet, he should answer the invitation so as to please his brother and attend such a happy event. However, if one is observing an obligatory fast, in which he makes up for missed days, or fasts a day that he vowed to fast, then he should attend the party without eating. Still, he should invoke Allah's goodness and blessings upon his inviter. If he is observing a supererogatory fast, he may either break his fast and eat with the inviter or continue his fast. However, he should tell the inviter whether or not he is fasting so as to avoid putting him in an awkward situation. In any case, answering the invitation is confirmed regardless of whether one is fasting or not.
Abu Sa‘īd al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The best sitting places are the widest."
Narrated by Abu Daoud - Narrated by Ahmad
This Hadīth indicates the excellence of the spaciousness of sitting places, for wide areas accommodate many people and ensure comfort and expansion of breasts. However, it depends on the circumstances, for some people might have small chambers. But the wider the better!
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: “When one of you sneezes, he should say 'alhamdu-lillāh' (praise be to Allah) and his brother or companion should say to him: 'yarhamuk Allah' (may Allah have mercy on you). When he says so to him, the sneezer should reply: 'yahdīkum Allah wa yuslih bālakum!' (may Allah guide you and grant you well being).”
Narrated by Bukhari
The Hadīth shows that a Muslim should praise Allah, the Exalted, when he sneezes because the sneezer got a great benefit from sneezing. Sneezing releases the condensed air in one's head which otherwise would have caused serious diseases. Therefore, praising Allah is prescribed for this blessing. Further, anyone who hears someone praising Allah after sneezing should say: ‘yarhamuk Allah’ (may Allah have mercy on you). Then the sneezer should reply: ‘yahdīkum Allah wa yuslih bālakum’ (may Allah guide you and grant you well being). Thus, sneezing benefits both the sneezer and the one who heard him, and this reflects one of the great bounties granted by this religion to the people.
Thawbān (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If a Muslim visits his sick fellow Muslim, he will remain in the Khurfah of Paradise tills he leaves returns." It was asked: "O Messenger of Allah, what the Khurfah of Paradise." He said: "Its fruit garden."
Narrated by Muslim
In this Hadīth, Thawbān (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If a Muslim visits his sick fellow Muslim, he will remain in the Khurfah of Paradise tills he leaves returns." It was asked: "O Messenger of Allah, what the Khurfah of Paradise." He said: "Its fruit garden." In other words, he picks up from the fruits of Paradise for as long as he remains sitting with the sick person. He likens the reward obtained by a person who visits a sick one to someone reaping fruits. It was said that the intended meaning here is the path; that is he who visits a sick one and returns will be walking in a path leading him to Paradise. The first interpretation is more plausible, however. Sitting with a sick person differs from person to person and from one situation to another. Sometimes it is recommended to do so, and at other times it is not. If the sick person apparently enjoys the companionship of a certain visitor and would like him to stay longer, he is recommended to do so, and vice versa.
Sa‘d ibn Abi Waqqās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) visited me when I was ill and said: "O Allah, cure Sa‘d; O Allah, cure Sa‘d; O Allah, cure Sa‘d!"
Al-Bukhari and Muslim. This is the wording of Muslim
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) visited Sa‘d ibn Abi Waqqās, when he was sick and said three times: "O Allah, cure Sa‘d." This Hadīth indicates that it is from the Sunnah to visit a sick Muslim. It also indicates the Prophet's exemplary character, and his good manners with his companions, as he used to visit the sick and make supplication for them. This Hadīth serves as proof that it is desirable to make supplication saying: "O Allah, cure so and so," and one should name the person and repeat this supplication three times. This could be a reason for the person's recovery.
Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) visited me during my illness, riding neither a mule nor a horse.
Narrated by Bukhari
In this Hadīth, Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh (may Allah be pleased with him) tells that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) visited him once when he got ill, and he went to him walking, riding neither a mule nor a horse.
Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I passed by the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and my lower garment was trailing. Therefore, he said: "O ‘Abdullāh, pull up your lower garment." I raised it and he said: 'Up!’ So I raised it further, and I have been doing so since then. Some people said: "Up to where?" He said: "To the middle of the shins."
Narrated by Muslim
Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that he passed by the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and his lower garment was trailing. So the Prophet told him to pull it up. ‘Abdullāh raised it up to the ankles or close to them. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) further asked him to pull it up, for doing so was better for a cleaner outfit. ‘Abdullāh pulled it up to the middle of his shins. He kept doing so since then out of his care for and adherence to the Sunnah. Some people asked him up to where the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) eventually asked him to raise his lower garment. He said up to the middle of the shins.
Jābir (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) forbade that a man wears his shoes while standing.
Narrated by Ibn Majah - Narrated by At-Termedhy - Narrated by Abu Daoud
This Hadīth includes a prohibition of wearing the shoes while standing, because wearing them while sitting is easier and provides more control. This ruling applies only if the shoes need some handling, because wearing them while standing might cause one to lose balance when lifting the leg. Nowadays, however, it is fine to wear shoes while standing. The prohibition does not apply here because the shoes we wear today are easy to handle without a need to sitting down. Finally, the rulings of Shariah apply to men and women alike with no distinction, unless there is textual proof that specifies a ruling to either gender. Men are specifically mentioned in this Hadīth, because they normally go out more frequently.
