Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)
by Sheikh Muhammad Abdul Hai ArifiSitting
Hadrat Jabir bin Samura (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated: The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) also used to sit cross-legged and sometimes sat with knees up and bottoms of this feet touching the ground and having his hands set in the armpits. I have also seen him reclining on a pillow at his left side. [Shamail-e-Tirmizi]
Hadrat Hanzala bin Huzaim (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated: Once as I came to the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam), I saw him sitting cross legged keeping one leg on the other (right leg on the left). [Al-Adabul Mufrad]
