One should greet
those who are present in the gathering, upon entering as well as exiting. The Prophet
(s.a.w.) said:
“If
one of you comes to a gathering, let him greet them with Salaam. If it
seems to him that he should sit, then let him sit. When he stands [to leave] then let him greet them [again] with Salaam,
for indeed the first one is no more important than the other.” [AbuDawood & at-Tirmidhi]
1. People Should Make Room For Others
Allah (s.w.t.)
says:
O you
who believe! When you are told to make room in the assemblies, (spread out and) make room. Allah will give you (ample)
room (hereafter). And when you are told to rise up, rise up. Allah
will exalt in degree those of you who believe and those who have been granted
knowledge. And Allah is Well-Acquainted with what you do. [58:11]
2. One Should Not Ask Others To Stand For Them To Be Seated In
Their Place.
The Prophet
(s.a.w.) said:
“A
person should not cause another to stand from his place and then sit in it, but
rather, you should spread out and make room.” [Muslim]
3. If A Person
Stands And Leaves From His Seat, He Has More Right Over It If He Returns.
The Prophet (s.a.w.) said:
4. One Should Not
Part Two People Sitting Together Except After Seeking Permission From Both.
The Prophet (s.a.w.) said:
“It
is not permissible for a person to separate two people (by sitting between them) unless they give permission.” [AbuDawood & at-Tirmidhi]
5. One should not
talk to someone privately in the presence of a third person.
The Prophet (s.a.w.) said:
“If
you are three, two people should not privately speak without the third until
you mix with other people, for that will grieve him.” [al-Bukhari & Muslim]
6. One Should Not Sit In The Middle Of A Circle Or Group Of
People.

“He
who sits in the center of gatherings is cursed.” [Abu Dawood
& at-Tirmidhi]
7. People In A Gathering Should Not Busy Themselves With
Nonsense Or Talk Void Of The Remembrance Of Allah Or Useful Discussions Of
Worldly And Religious Affairs.
The Messenger of
Allah ()

“No people rise from an assembly in which the name of Allah
was not mentioned, except that they are like those who rise from around a
donkey’s carcass, and the assembly will be a source of sorrow for them.” [Abu Dawood]
