AboutSocial etiquette and the virtue of pioneers of knowledge and faith

Qur'an 58:11 commands Muslims to make room for newcomers in gatherings and have them sit beside them.[1] In return, God creates an opening for them in this world and the Hereafter, expands their sustenance, and makes the reckoning of their deeds easy.[2] Tafsir-i nimuna indicates that some people perform this command with reluctance, some with hypocrisy, and some with a willing heart, and God emphasizes at the end of the verse that He is aware of their deeds.[3] Some exegetes have interpreted the command to rise as being for performing prayer, enjoining the good, or rising for war with the enemy.[4]

According to 'Allama Tabataba'i, this part of the verse, "Allah will raise in rank those of you who have faith and those who have been given knowledge," means that God raises the rank of believers by one degree and the rank of believing scholars by several degrees higher.[5] Shaykh al-Ṭūsī also believes that the reward for the deeds of a scholar is more than the reward for the same deed by a non-scholar.[6] Some exegetes consider this verse evidence for respecting the pioneers of knowledge, faith, and piety[7] and deem these characteristics the criteria for human superiority.[8] Imam al-Hadi (a) also, based on this verse, gave precedence to one of the Shia scholars over the Banu Hashim and seated him in the best place of the gathering.[9] The Shia exegete, Sadiqi Tehrani, also believes that society must provide conditions where individuals with more knowledge and faith are preferred over others, and competition should be in acquiring scientific and faithful virtues.[10]

Some exegetes of the Qur'an have considered the cause of revelation of Qur'an 58:11 to be the refusal of the companions of the Prophet (s) to give space to others to attend the gathering of the Prophet.[11] According to these exegetes, a group of companions who were in the Battle of Badr attended the Prophet's gathering standing due to lack of space. The Prophet asked other Sahaba, mentioning their names, to rise and give their places to the newcomers.[12] These individuals became upset by the Prophet's behavior.[13] The hypocrites considered this action of the Prophet contrary to justice. Following these events, Qur'an 58:11 was revealed and explained the social etiquette of attending gatherings.[14] Others have said that Muslims were interested in sitting near the Prophet to hear his words better. This matter caused great crowding.[15] Exegetes of the Qur'an have not considered the commands of this verse to be limited to the Prophet's gathering.[16]
