Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْوَاسِطِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَمِّهِ وَاسِعِ بْنِ حَبَّانَ عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ حُذَيْفَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا قَامَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهَا ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ.
English Translation
Affan told us: Khalid al-Wasiti told us: Amr ibn Yahya told us, from Muhammad ibn Yahya, from his uncle Wasi' ibn Habban, from Wahb ibn Hudhayfah, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "If a man gets up from his sitting-place and then returns to it, he has the greater right to it; and if he has some need and gets up for it and then returns, he has the greater right to it."
