عن أنس بن مالك يقول : جاء شيخ يريد النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فأبطأ القوم عنه أن يوسعوا له، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم : ليس منا من لم يرحم صغيرنا ويوقر كبيرنا (سنن الترمذي رقم 1919)

Hazrat Anas bin Maalik (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that on one occasion, an old man arrived in the gathering of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam). When the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum) delayed in making space for this Sahaabi (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) to sit (despite there being space), Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) corrected them saying, “He is not from among us who does not show mercy to our young, and does not honor and respect our old.”
