Abdullah saw a man who was praying with his feet together. He said: "He is going against the Sunnah; if he shifted his weight from one to the other that would be better."

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ رَأَى رَجُلاً يُصَلِّي قَدْ صَفَّ بَيْنَ قَدَمَيْهِ فَقَالَ خَالَفَ السُّنَّةَ وَلَوْ رَاوَحَ بَيْنَهُمَا كَانَ أَفْضَلَ

He saw a man praying with his feet together. He said: "He is not following the Sunnah. If he were to shift his weight from one to the other I would like that better."

أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَجُلاً يُصَلِّي قَدْ صَفَّ بَيْنَ قَدَمَيْهِ فَقَالَ أَخْطَأَ السُّنَّةَ وَلَوْ رَاوَحَ بَيْنَهُمَا كَانَ أَعْجَبَ إِلَىَّ

[AI] As for this, it would be a mistake to choose either one, as being in-between them would be more preferable to me.

«أَمَّا هَذَا فَقَدْ أَخْطَأَ السُّنَّةَ لَوْ رَاوَحَ بَيْنَهُمَا كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ»

Abdullah saw a man who was praying with his feet together. He said: "He is going against the Sunnah; if he shifted his weight from one to the other that would be better." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 892)

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ رَأَى رَجُلًا يُصَلِّي قَدْ صَفَّ بَيْنَ قَدَمَيْهِ فَقَالَ «خَالَفْتَ السَّنَةَ لَوْ رَاوَحْتَ بَيْنَهُمَا كَانَ أَفْضَلُ»

"مرَّ ابْن مَسْعُودٍ بَرجُلٍ صَافٍّ بَيْنَ قَدَمَيْهِ فَقَالَ: أمَّا هَذَا فَقَدْ أَخْطأَ السُّنَّةَ، لَوْ رَاوَحَ بَيْنَهُمَا كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَىَّ".
