that his uncle said, "I saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ lying flat (on his back) in the mosque with one leg on the other." Narrated Saʿid bin Al-Musaiyab that ʿUmar and ʿUthman used to do the same.  

أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُسْتَلْقِيًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَاضِعًا إِحْدَى رِجْلَيْهِ عَلَى الأُخْرَى وَعَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ قَالَ كَانَ عُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ يَفْعَلاَنِ ذَلِكَ  

I saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ lying on his back in the mosque and putting one of his legs over the other.  

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ مُسْتَلْقِيًا وَاضِعًا إِحْدَى رِجْلَيْهِ عَلَى الأُخْرَى  

When the Prophet ﷺ prayed the dawn prayer, he sat cross-legged where he was till the sun had come well up.  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى الْفَجْرَ تَرَبَّعَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ حَسْنَاءَ  

I saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the courtyard of the Kaʿba in the Ihtiba.' posture putting his hand round his legs like this.  

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِفِنَاءِ الْكَعْبَةِ مُحْتَبِيًا بِيَدِهِ هَكَذَا  

She saw the Prophet ﷺ sitting with his arms round his legs. She said: When I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in such humble condition in the sitting position (according to Musa's version), I trembled with fear.  

حَدَّثَتْنِي جَدَّتَاىَ صَفِيَّةُ وَدُحَيْبَةُ ابْنَتَا عُلَيْبَةَ قَالَ مُوسَى بِنْتُ حَرْمَلَةَ وَكَانَتَا رَبِيبَتَىْ قَيْلَةَ بِنْتِ مَخْرَمَةَ وَكَانَتْ جَدَّةَ أَبِيهِمَا أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُمَا أَنَّهَا رَأَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ الْقُرْفُصَاءَ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمُخْتَشِعَ وَقَالَ مُوسَى الْمُتَخَشِّعَ فِي الْجِلْسَةِ أُرْعِدْتُ مِنَ الْفَرَقِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came upon me when I was sitting thus: having my left hand behind my back and leaning on the fleshy part of it, and said: Are you sitting in the manner of those with whom Allah is angry?  

مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا جَالِسٌ هَكَذَا وَقَدْ وَضَعْتُ يَدِيَ الْيُسْرَى خَلْفَ ظَهْرِي وَاتَّكَأْتُ عَلَى أَلْيَةِ يَدِي فَقَالَ أَتَقْعُدُ قِعْدَةَ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ
