[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When a woman sits in prayer, she should place one thigh against the other thigh. And when she prostrates, she should press her stomach against her thighs like a cup. Verily, Allah looks at her and says to the angels: 'Bear witness that I have forgiven her 3200 times.'" Abu Saad As-Sufi informed us that Abu Ahmad bin Adi narrated to us, from Ubaid bin Muhammad As-Sarkhasi, from Muhammad bin Al-Qasim Al-Balkhi, from Abu Muti, from Umar bin Thar. Abu Ahmad said: Abu Muti is considered weak in his hadiths and generally what he narrates is not followed upon. The sheikh, may Allah have mercy on him, said: Yahya bin Ma'in and others have deemed him weak. Similarly, Ata bin Ajlan is weak and a disconnected hadith has been narrated about him, although it is better than the two consecutive hadiths before him.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا جَلَسَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَضَعَتْ فَخِذَهَا عَلَى فَخِذِهَا الْأُخْرَى وَإِذَا سَجَدَتْ أَلْصَقَتْ بَطْنَهَا فِي فَخِذَيْهَا كَأَسْتَرِ مَا يَكُونُ لَهَا وَإِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا وَيَقُولُ يَا مَلَائِكَتِي أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَهَا 3200 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعْدٍ الصُّوفِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ ثنا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ السَّرْخَسِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ الْبَلْخِيُّ ثنا أَبُو مُطِيعٍ ثنا عُمَرُ بْنُ ذَرٍّ فَذَكَرَهُ قَالَ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ أَبُو مُطِيعٍ بَيْنَ الضَّعْفِ فِي أَحَادِيثِهِ وَعَامَّةُ مَا يَرْوِيهِ لَا يُتَابَعُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَقَدْ ضَعَّفَهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ وَغَيْرُهُ وَكَذَلِكَ عَطَاءُ بْنُ عَجْلَانَ ضَعِيفٌ وَرُوِي فِيهِ حَدِيثٌ مُنْقَطِعٌ وَهُوَ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ الْمَوْصُولَيْنِ قَبْلَهُ
