Manners in Assemblies

Whenever you see a funeral procession, stand up for that until it moves away or is lowered on the ground.

Should any one of you come across a funeral procession, and if he does not intend to accompany it, he must stand up until it passes by him or is placed upon the ground before it passes him.

Should anyone amongst you see a bier he must stand up so long as it is within sight in case he does not intend to follow it.

Whenever you come across a bier you should stand up, and he who follows it should not sit down till it is placed on the ground.

None of you should make another one stand in the meeting and then occupy his place.

No person should ask another person to stand at his place and then he should himself sit there, but he should simply say: Make room and accommodate.

None should make one'& brother stand and then sit at his place (and it was common with) Ibn Umar that when any person stood in the company (with a view to making room for him) he did not sit there.

The young should salute the old, the one who is passing by should salute the one who is sitting, and a small company should salute a large one.

one who is riding should salute one who is walking. He then mentioned the rest of the tradition.

“It is impolite for a man to wipe his forehead a great deal before he finishes prayer.”
