Sunan Abi Dawud 4853 (Book 43, Hadith 81) #25144
Respectful Seating Arrangements

SUMMARY: It is important to be considerate and respectful of others when it comes to seating arrangements.

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 saying: If anyone gets up from where he has been sitting and comes back to it, he has most right to it.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي جَالِسًا وَعِنْدَهُ غُلاَمٌ فَقَامَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَحَدَّثَ أَبِي، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا قَامَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ مَجْلِسٍ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us the importance of being considerate and respectful of others when it comes to seating arrangements. It is narrated by Abu Salih that he was sitting with his father and a boy was also present there. The boy got up from his seat and then returned back to it. Upon this, his father mentioned a tradition on the authority of Abu Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ saying that if anyone gets up from where he has been sitting and comes back to it, he has most right to it. This hadith encourages us not only to be mindful of our own rights but also those of others in terms of seating arrangements or any other matter for that matter. We should always strive for harmony in our relationships by respecting each other’s rights as well as being considerate towards one another’s feelings at all times.
