Riyad as-Salihin 824 (Book 4, Hadith 12) #37313
Making Accommodation Wide

SUMMARY: Do not ask someone to give up their seat, but make accommodation wide and sit at ease.

Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: Messenger of Allah said, "Do not ask someone to give up his seat in order to take it, but make accommodation wide and sit at ease". It was Ibn 'Umar's habit that if a person left his seat for him, he would not take it. Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
عن ابن عمر رضى الله عنهما قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله ‏:‏ ‏ "‏لا يقمن أحدكم من مجلسه ثم يجلس فيه، ولكن توسعوا وتفسحوا‏"‏ وكان ابن عمر إذا قام له رجل من مجلسه لم يجلس فيه‏.‏ (‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏.

QUICK LESSONS:
Make accommodation wide and sit at ease

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith of Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) teaches us the importance of making accommodation wide and sitting at ease. It is reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said “Do not ask someone to give up his seat in order to take it”. This means that we should not demand or expect people to give up their seats for us; instead we should make sure there is enough space for everyone so that everyone can sit comfortably without having to move around or switch places. Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us about respect and consideration for others; by making sure there is enough room for everyone, we are showing respect towards those around us by allowing them to have a comfortable place to sit without having to move out of our way.
