What is the ruling on standing up for a person who arrives?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the person who arrives, a hadith was mentioned from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and Mu'adh was with him when he said to the Companions: Some scholars have mentioned that if the situation of standing up for this person is such that the arriving person does not like people standing up for him, then there is no problem with it, if Allah wills. It is permissible for people to stand up for him as a welcome to the arriving person and to take his hand, based on the evidence of ?
The Shaykh : Based on what evidence?
The questioner : Based on in the hadith about Sa'd, meaning the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was with Sa'd and he came to the Companions and said: Stand up for your master?
The Shaykh : The hadith in your wording is not correct; rather, the correct one is in the wording of the authentic hadith, which is in Sahih al-Bukhari: and not . And I say again, you Arabs find it easy to distinguish between "stand up for so-and-so" and "stand up to so-and-so," but non-Arabs like us need to be taught this difference between "stand up to so-and-so" and "stand up for so-and-so." Then, as they say today in the expression of the modern age, it puts the dots on the letters: the narration of Imam Ahmad: Sahih Ibn Hibban 63:176. Therefore, it is not permissible to quote this hadith and force this hadith into the topic of standing up for scholars, because in that case we would be transgressing against the owner of the hadith, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and attributing to him a meaning he did not intend. As for if we say , then we have attributed to him a wording he did not say, and the wording is . This is the hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari with its authentic chain from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri. Imam Ahmad narrated the story of Banu Qurayzah and their referral of judgment to Sa'd ibn Mu'adh and his coming to judge while he was wounded. Imam Ahmad narrated this story in a more complete and perfect form with the wording Sahih Ibn Hibban 63:176. So the command here is to stand up to Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, and it is not explained by the cause of his illness, and that he was riding his mount and was injured in his elbow, which is a vein in the upper arm, so he ordered his companions and his people, the Ansar, to stand up to their master and help him dismount. So this hadith has absolutely no relation to the old dispute: is it prescribed to stand up for scholars, virtue, and justice, or is it not prescribed? And this has another place.
