A question from some individuals and their argument for the permissibility of standing for others based on the hadith of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding him

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... It seems I read it once ... to a group, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them:
Stand up for your master قوموا لسيدكم
?

The Shaykh : I read it and made a mistake ... This hadith has a story. First, its narration is incorrect because it is worded as
Rise to your master. قوموا إلى سيدكم
, not
Stand up for your master قوموا لسيدكم
. No Arab like me, let alone an Arab like you, would doubt the difference between
Stand up for your master قوموا لسيدكم
and
Rise to your master. قوموا إلى سيدكم
. "Stand up to your master" means to honor and revere him, to go to him. Many people of knowledge and virtue make mistakes first in narrating the hadith, and second in the jurisprudence of the hadith, because one who does not make a mistake in narrating the hadith makes a mistake in its jurisprudence, in its indication. They include it in the topic of standing for others, respect, and honor, whereas it has absolutely no relation to this topic. Its relation is to helping the man for whom it was said, "Stand up to him," who is Sa'd ibn Mu'adh the Ansari. He was injured in his ankle, wounded ... so they killed their men and took their women captive. The Messenger (peace be upon him) said:
from above the Seven Heavens لقد حكمت بحكم الله من فوق سبع سموات
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3213Sahih (Darussalam)
from above the Seven Heavens حكمت بحكم الله من فوق سبع سموات
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3213Sahih (Darussalam)
. The point is that the time for executing the judgment came, and he came riding a donkey while he was sick. He said to the Ansari, who are his people:
Rise to your master. قوموا إلى سيدكم
, so they dismounted him from his mount.
