Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, said: (No one among people was more beloved to them - meaning to the Companions - than the person of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him and his family. When they saw him, no one would stand for him, because of what they knew of his dislike for that) Al-Wadi'i said: Authentic according to the conditions of Muslim, and Al-Bukhari narrated it with similar wording in Al-Adab Al-Mufrad. Some people become sensitive if you greet them without standing for them, while this is the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, the best of all mankind, who did not like anyone to stand for him when he approached a gathering of people.
