وَعَن وَاثِلَة بن الخطابِ قَالَ: دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ قَاعِدٌ فَتَزَحْزَحَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ. فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ فِي الْمَكَانِ سَعَةً. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: «إِنَّ لِلْمُسْلِمِ لَحَقًّا إِذَا رَآهُ أَخُوهُ أَنْ يَتَزَحْزَحَ لَهُ» . رَوَاهُمَا الْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي «شعب الْإِيمَان»
Sayyiduna Wathilah ibn Khattab رضي الله عنه narrated that a man came to Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم when he was sitting in the mosque. So Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم shifted a bit to make room for him. The man submitted, "O Messenger of Allah, there is enough space!" And, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Indeed, a Muslim has the right that when his brother sees him, he should shift somewhat to make some space for him." [3]
