THE STANDING (SALAAMI)

Qiyaam-e-Musarrat

Hadhrat Uthman (ra) said, “The Holy Prophet ﷺ passed away before we could ask him the solution to this problem.” Hadhrat Abu Bakr (ra) said, “I have already asked him concerning this  affair …” Then Hadhrat Uthman (ra) said (upon hearing this glad tidings from Hadhrat Abu Bakr (ra)), “I stood up for him.” (Sahih Bukhari)

Qiyaam-e-Muhabbat

Hadhrat Aisha Siddiqa (radi allahu ‘anha) has narrated :“I have never encountered anyone that had emulated the Holy Prophet ﷺ in manner, likeness and speech [and with another chain of narrators : I have never seen anyone even come near her with the above qualities] more than Fathima (radi allahu ‘anha), may Allah honour her face. When she came in to visit him (the Prophet) he got up to (welcome) her, took her by the hand, kissed her and made her sit where he was sitting; and when he went in to visit her, she got up to (welcome) him, took him by the hand, kissed him, and made him sit where she was sitting”. (Sunan Abu Dawood; Ash’atul Lama’aat)

Qiyaam-e-‘Azmat

Narrated Abu Sa ‘id al-Khudri (ra) : The people of (Banu) Quraiza agreed to accept the verdict of Sa’d bin Mu’adh. So the Prophet ﷺ sent for Sa’ad, and the latter came (riding) a donkey and when he approached the Mosque, the Prophet ﷺ said to the Ansar, “Get up for your chief or for the best among you !” (Sahih Bukhaari, Vol 5, Chapter 29, Hadith 447)

(Narrated Jabir (ra) : I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, “The Throne (of Allah) shook at the death of Sa’ad bin Mu’adh”)

Allama Ibn Hajar Makki (ra) states in Moulidatil Kabeer, “It is proven from Sunnah to stand for others besides the Holy Prophet ﷺ, thus in honour of the Holy Prophet ﷺ it is permissible in the first instance. The proof hereof is the command to stand the Prophet ﷺ gave in respect of Sa’ad ibn Muadh.”

Imam Nawawi (ra) holds the same view (in his commentary of this Hadith) and he even quotes the opinion of Qadi ‘Iyad (ra). (See Sharh Sahih Muslim and al-Tarkhis for Imam Nawawi’s view on Qiyaam)

Hadhrat Shaikh ‘Abdul Haq Muhaddith Dehlawi (ra) writes, “A great number of eminent ‘Ulama have taken this Hadith as proof in support of Qiyaam in Meelad.” (Ash atul Lama’aat)

The Qiyaam is a manifestation of happiness, love and honour towards the occasion which is celebrated to thank Allah for his arrival.

Hadhrath Abu Huraira (ra), he says, “The Holy Prophet ﷺ was seated with us in the mosque and speaking to us. When he rose to depart, we all rose with him and remained standing until he entered any of the houses of his Blessed Wives.” (Mishkaat- Kitabul-Adaab, Babul Qiyaam, Page 403)

Usama ibn Sharik (ra) narrates : “I came to see the Prophet ﷺ while his Companions were with him, and they seemed as still as if birds had alighted on top of their heads. I gave him my Salaam and I sat down. [Then Bedouins came and asked questions which the Prophet answered.] … The Prophet ﷺ then stood up and the PEOPLE STOOD UP. They began to kiss his hand, whereupon I took his hand and placed it on my face. I found it more fragrant than musk and cooler than sweet water.”( Ibn Majah [3436], al-Hakim [4:399])

When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
