Question:
Is there any report regarding a person standing up for an elderly person? Is this a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person)?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with standing up to him and shaking his hand. When Ka'b ibn Malik entered after Allah accepted his repentance, Talhah ibn 'Ubayd Allah ran to him until he shook his hand. And when Sa'd ibn Mu'adh came to judge the Banu Qurayzah, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So they stood up to him, shook his hand, and helped him down from his donkey.
