Sunan Abi Dawud 962 (Book 2, Hadith 573) #21254
Sitting in Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ would sit in prayer with his left foot placed horizontally, so much so that the upper-part of his foot became black.

It was reported from Ibrahim that he said: "When the Prophet would sit in the prayer, he would place his left foot horizontally - so much so that the upper-part of his foot became black".
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، عَنْ وَكِيعٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ إِذَا جَلَسَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ افْتَرَشَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُسْرَى حَتَّى اسْوَدَّ ظَهْرُ قَدَمِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith reported by Ibrahim speaks about the Prophet's sitting position during prayer. It is said that when he would sit in prayer, he would place his left foot horizontally - so much so that the upper-part of his foot became black. This shows us how important it is to be mindful and attentive while praying and to take care of our posture during this time. We should strive to make sure we are sitting properly and not slouching or leaning too far forward or backward as this can distract us from focusing on our prayers. Additionally, it teaches us to be patient and consistent with our prayers as even though the Prophet's feet were becoming black due to prolonged sitting, he still continued praying without interruption.
