عن أنس رضي الله عنه ، قال: «لم يكن شخصٌ أَحَبَّ إليهم مِن رسول الله -صلى الله عليه وسلم، وكانوا إذا رَأَوْه لم يقوموا لِمَا يَعْلَمون مِن كَرَاهِيَته لذلك».
[صحيح] - [رواه الترمذي]

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: There was no person more beloved to them (the Companions) than the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him). Nevertheless, they would not stand up when they saw him, knowing his dislike for that.
[Authentic hadith] - [Narrated by At-Termedhy]
In this Hadīth, Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) explains that no one was dearer to the honorable Companions than the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him). Nevertheless, they would not stand up when they saw him coming towards them because they knew that he hated to see anyone stand up for him.
