The Hadith (Rise up to your master): Is it cited as evidence for the permissibility of standing for a person entering?

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : The brother is asking about the hadith "Rise up to your master". The majority of people err regarding the hadith "Rise up to your master," both in its narration and consequently in its implication. The hadith is actually worded as and not as "Rise up to your master". Therefore, when the hadith was distorted in the minds of the masses, their jurisprudence was distorted along with it. "Rise up to your master" could be interpreted as rising to honor or respect him, but cannot be interpreted this way, because the meaning of is "rise up and go to him." This hadith warrants a special session to comment on it and clarify that it has no connection to the standing that is disliked in the Shari'ah. However, briefly, there is a narration that, as they say today, puts the dots on the letters and removes the ambiguity: . So, the command here is not for that kind of standing, but rather to help this noble man, Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, because he was wounded. He ordered his followers and companions to rise to him and help him dismount from his mount. Look at how much people err when they first distort the text of al-Bukhari, which is in , by changing it to "Rise up to your master". Then look at how much ignorance they display regarding the methods of hadith and their wordings, which help in understanding the hadith correctly. The addition we mentioned, , is in the Musnad of Imam Ahmad with a strong chain, as al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar says in Fath al-Bari.
