CHAPTER: If a person gets up from his seat then returns.
Abu Salih said: I was sitting with my father and there was also a boy with him. He got up and then returned. So my father mentioned a tradition on the authority of Abu Hurairah from the prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم saying: If anyone gets up from where he has been sitting and comes back to it, he has most right to it.
Narrated Abud Darda: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم would sit and we would also sit around him. If he got up intending to return, he would take off his sandals or something he was wearing, and his Companions recognising his purpose (that he would return) would stay where they were.
