Is the wording of the hadith: "Rise to your master" or "Rise for your master," and is it used as evidence for standing up for a person entering?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In the hadith, O Shaykh: is it "li" (to) or "ila" (to)?

The Shaykh :
Rise up to قوموا إلى
.

The questioner : You said: "Rise for your master."

The Shaykh : It is possible that this is a mispronunciation and an error, which we always point out. But first, the hadith: the wording is "ila" (to), as it is in al-Bukhari. Second, it came in the Musnad of Imam Ahmad with the wording:
Rise to your master, so lower him قوموا إلى سيدكم فأنزلوه
Sahih Ibn Hibban 63:176
: so they lowered him. Therefore, this addition and its chain of narration are strong, as al-Asqalani says in *Fath al-Bari*. It confirms the meaning of "ila" (to) in the hadith according to the narration in *Sahih al-Bukhari*. So the wording of the hadith is:
Rise to your master. قوموا إلى سيدكم
. Its completion is in the Musnad:
So, dismount him فأنزلوه
. Therefore, it is not valid to use it as evidence for the issue of standing up for a person entering.
