The Etiquette of Gatherings

418. Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “None of you should make a man get up from his place and then sit in it, but you should spread out and make room.” When a man got up from his place, Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, used not to sit there.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Isti’zan, 31; Sahih Muslim, Salam, 28).
419. Abu Hurayra, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Anyone who sits in his place and utters a lot of prattle in it, but says before getting up from it, ‘Glory be to You, O Allah and by Your praise. I testify that There is no deity but You. I ask Your forgiveness and I turn in repentance to You,’ will be forgiven what occurred during that time.” (Sunan at-Tirmidhi, Da’awat, 39).
