CHAPTER: Standing to receive someone.
Abu Saeed Al-Khudri said: When Banu Quraizah capitulated agreeing to accept Saad’s judgement, the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم sent a messenger to him. When he came riding on a white ass, the prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: stand up to (show respect to) your chief, or he said: “to the best of you”. He came and sat beside the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم.
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Shubah through a different chain of narrators. This version has: when he came near the mosque, he said to the Ansar; stand up showing respect to your chief.
Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: I never saw anyone more like the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم in respect of gravity, calm deportment, pleasant disposition - according to al-Hasan's version: in respect of talk and speech. Al-Hasan did not mention gravity, calm deportment, pleasant disposition - than Fatimah, may Allah honour her face. When she came to visit him (the Prophet) he got up to (welcome) her, took her by the hand, kissed her and made her sit where he was sitting; and when he went to visit her, she got up to (welcome) him, took him by the hand, kissed him, and made him sit where she was sitting.
