Chapters on Manners
Sahih

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ الشَّهِيدِ، عَنْ أَبِي مِجْلَزٍ، قَالَ خَرَجَ مُعَاوِيَةُ فَقَامَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ وَابْنُ صَفْوَانَ حِينَ رَأَوْهُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ اجْلِسَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَتَمَثَّلَ لَهُ الرِّجَالُ قِيَامًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ ‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ الشَّهِيدِ، عَنْ أَبِي مِجْلَزٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِثْلَهُ ‏.‏
that Mu'awiyah came out and 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair and Ibn Safwan stood for him when they saw him, so he said: "Sit, I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying: 'Whoever wishes that he be received by men standing then, let him take his seat in the Fire.'"
Narrated by Narrated Abu Miljaz:

Context

In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) addresses the issue of respect and humility in social interactions. When Mu'awiyah entered, Abdullah bin Az-Zubair and Ibn Safwan stood up for him, which prompted Mu'awiyah to remind them of the Prophet's teaching. The takeaway is that seeking honor through such gestures may lead one to a place of punishment, emphasizing the importance of humility.

Modern Application

This principle is relevant today as it encourages individuals to practice humility and avoid seeking undue honor or recognition. In professional settings, for instance, fostering an environment where everyone is treated equally can lead to a more collaborative and respectful atmosphere.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Respectful Communication and Prophetic Etiquette because it highlights the importance of humility in interactions and discourages actions that seek to elevate one's status above others.
