2751. Wahb bin Hudhaifah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "A man has more right to his seat. If he leaves for some need of his, then he returns, then he has more right to his seat." (Saḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is [Hasan] Saḥīḥ Gharīb. There are narrations on this topic from Abū Bakrah, Abū Sa'eed and Abū Hurairah.
٢٧٥١ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْوَاسِطِيُّ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ وَاسِعِ بْنِ حَبَّانَ ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ حُذَيْفَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «الرَّجُلُ أَحَقُّ بِمَجْلِسِهِ،» وَإِنْ خَرَجَ لِحَاجَتِهِ ثُمَّ عَادَ فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِمَجْلِسِهِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ.

The scholars derived the following rule from this Hadīth that if a person sits, every day, at a place for educating and teaching or for giving Fatwā (verdicts) or he sits at a place for business dealings, then others should not sit at his place, lest a disagreement and dispute should erupt.
