Al-Mujadila: 11- فَافْسَحُوا & فَٱنشُزُوا۟

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمْ تَفَسَّحُوا فِى ٱلْمَجَـٰلِسِ فَٱفْسَحُوا يَفْسَحِ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمْ ۖ وَإِذَا قِيلَ ٱنشُزُوا فَٱنشُزُوا …. ۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ

O believers! When you are told to make room in gatherings, then do so. Allah will make room for you ˹in His grace˺. And if you are told to rise, then rise up. Allah will elevate those of you who are faithful, and ˹raise˺ those gifted with knowledge in rank. And Allah is All-Aware of what you do.

The Words- فَافْسَحُوا & فَٱنشُزُوا۟ (Meaning: Make room and rise up) occurs once in the Qur’an

Contemplation: Allah (SWT) teaches Two Manners to be followed by The First rule states: يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمْ تَفَسَّحُوا فِي الْمَجَالِسِ فَافْسَحُوا (those who believe, when it is said to you 'Make room [ for others ] in the sittings', then make room) People sitting in an assembly should make space for those who came late.

They should sit together in such a way that there is enough room for others. If this is done, Allah promises that He will widen their scope in the Hereafter. However, it is not inconceivable that this space or room might be created for them in the life of this world as well

The second rule states: وَإِذَا قِيلَ انشُزُوا فَانشُزُوا ('When it is said to you, 'Rise up', then rise up) This means when people sitting in an assembly are told to stand up and leave, they should stand up and leave. This verse uses the passive voice [it is said ] but it is not mentioned who says it or who should say it. Authentic traditions make it plain that the late comer himself cannot move somebody out of his place and use it for himself, nor force his way into a gathering. Thus it is recorded in the Sahihain and in the Musnad of Ahmad on the authority of ` Abdullah Ibn ` Umar ؓ that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: لَا یُقِیمُ الرَّجُلُ الرَّجُلَ مِن مَّجلِسِہٖ فَیَجلِسُ فِیہِ وَ لٰکِن تَفَسَّحُوا وَتَوَسَّعُوا "One of you should not move some other person up from his place and sit in it, but instead, spread out and make space for the comer."

Therefore, it would appear that the rule would apply to the master of ceremony or the organisers of the assembly or the host.
