وَأَمَّا قَوْله : ( وَكَانَ اِبْن عُمَر إِذَا قَامَ لَهُ رَجُل عَنْ مَجْلِسه لَمْ يَجْلِس فِيهِ ) فَهَذَا وَرَع مِنْهُ , وَلَيْسَ قُعُوده فِيهِ حَرَامًا إِذَا قَامَ بِرِضَاهُ , لَكِنَّهُ تَوَرَّعَ عَنْهُ لِوَجْهَيْنِ : أَحَدهمَا أَنَّهُ رُبَّمَا اِسْتَحَى مِنْهُ إِنْسَان فَقَامَ لَهُ مِنْ مَجْلِسه مِنْ غَيْر طِيب قَلْبه , فَسَدَّ اِبْن عُمَر الْبَاب لِيَسْلَم مِنْ هَذَا. وَالثَّانِي أَنَّ الْإِيثَار بِالْقُرْبِ مَكْرُوه أَوْ خِلَاف الْأَوْلَى , فَكَانَ اِبْن عُمَر يَمْتَنِع مِنْ ذَلِكَ لِئَلَّا يَرْتَكِب أَحَد بِسَبَبِهِ مَكْرُوهًا , أَوْ خِلَاف الْأَوْلَى بِأَنْ يَتَأَخَّر عَنْ مَوْضِعه مِنْ الصَّفّ الْأَوَّل وَيُؤْثِرهُ بِهِ وَشِبْه ذَلِكَ. قَالَ أَصْحَابنَا : وَإِنَّمَا يُحْمَد الْإِيثَار…

Authentic Sahih al-Bukhari 6270

The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade that a man should be made to get up from his seat so that another might sit on it, but one should make room and spread out. Ibn `Umar disliked that a man should get up from his seat and then somebody else sit at his place.

نَهَى أَنْ يُقَامَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ وَيَجْلِسَ فِيهِ آخَرُ، وَلَكِنْ تَفَسَّحُوا وَتَوَسَّعُوا‏.‏

Differing grades Sunan Abu Dawud 4828

A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ), another man got up from his place for him, and when he went to sit in it, the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade him. Abu Dawud said: The name of Abu al-Khusaib is Ziyad b. 'Abd al-Rahman.

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَامَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ فَذَهَبَ لِيَجْلِسَ فِيهِ فَنَهَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏.‏
