(Book 3, Hadith 52) #35253
Crossing Legs During Prayer

SUMMARY: Abdullah ibn Umar disapproved of a man who crossed his legs while sitting in the fourth raka of prayer, and the man protested that Abdullah did the same. Abdullah replied that he was ill.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Dinar that he had seen Abdullah ibn Umar with a man praying at his side. When the man sat in the fourth raka, heput both feet to one side and crossed them. When Abdullah finished, he disapproved of that to him, and the man protested, "But you do the same". Abdullah ibn Umar said, "I am ill".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، وَصَلَّى، إِلَى جَنْبِهِ رَجُلٌ فَلَمَّا جَلَسَ الرَّجُلُ فِي أَرْبَعٍ تَرَبَّعَ وَثَنَى رِجْلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَابَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَإِنَّكَ تَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ فَإِنِّي أَشْتَكِي

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how to properly sit during prayer. It is narrated by Yahya from Malik from Abdullah ibn Dinar that he saw a man praying next to him with his feet crossed when he sat for the fourth raka. When they finished their prayers, Abdullah ibn Umar disapproved of this action and told him not to do it again. The man argued back saying that even though he was doing it too but then he said that he was ill so it was okay for him to do so. This hadith teaches us an important lesson about how we should be mindful of our actions during prayer and follow proper etiquette as prescribed by Islam even if we are ill or have some other excuse for not following them correctly. We should also remember that Allah knows best and He will forgive us if we make mistakes out of ignorance or forgetfulness but still try our best to follow His commands as closely as possible.
