Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, said: (No one among the people was more beloved to them - meaning the Companions - as a person than the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his family. When they saw him, no one among them would stand up for him, because of what they knew of his dislike for that.) Al-Wadi'i said: Authentic according to Muslim's conditions, and Bukhari narrated it with similar wording in Al-Adab Al-Mufrad. Some people feel offended if you greet them without standing up 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.
