Daily Hadith Mon 26-Apr-2010 - 13 Jumada al-Ula 1431 حديث اليوم
Etiquette of Attending company and sitting with Companions
Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying "The best assemblies are those in which people make room for one another."[Abu Dawud].


Commentary:
This Hadith tells us that the closely-sitting people have a feeling of narrowness and suffocation. On the other hand, in a well-spaced meeting, one has a feeling of relief and comfort. The Hadith urges us to spread out in assemblies and make room for one another to the comfort of everyone.
