[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "When one of you sits or reclines, do not place one of your feet over the other."  

أحمد:١٤١٩٨ – حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْأَخْنَسِ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا جَلَسَ أَوْ اسْتَلْقَى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَا يَضَعْ رِجْلَيْهِ إِحْدَاهُمَا عَلَى الْأُخْرَى

None of you should lie on his back and place one of his feet upon the other.  

مسلم:٢٠٩٩e – وَحَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ أَخْبَرَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الأَخْنَسِ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ يَسْتَلْقِيَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ ثُمَّ يَضَعُ إِحْدَى رِجْلَيْهِ عَلَى الأُخْرَى
