(Book 3, Hadith 55) #35256
Proper Sitting Position for Tashahhud Prayer

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the proper way to sit in the tashahhud prayer.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that al-Qasim ibn Muhammad showed them how to sit in the tashahhud, and he kept his right foot vertical and laid his left foot down, and sat on his left haunch not on his foot. Then he said, "Abdullah ibn Abdullah ibn Umar saw me doing this and related to me that his father used to do the same thing".
وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ، أَرَاهُمُ الْجُلُوسَ فِي التَّشَهُّدِ فَنَصَبَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُمْنَى وَثَنَى رِجْلَهُ الْيُسْرَى وَجَلَسَ عَلَى وَرِكِهِ الأَيْسَرِ وَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ عَلَى قَدَمِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَرَانِي هَذَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ وَحَدَّثَنِي أَنَّ أَبَاهُ كَانَ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how to properly sit during the tashahhud prayer. The tashahhud prayer is a part of salat, which is an obligatory Muslim ritual that involves reciting certain verses and prayers while facing Mecca. In this hadith, Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad showed people how to sit in the tashahhud by keeping his right foot vertical and laying his left foot down while sitting on his left haunch instead of his foot. Abdullah Ibn Abdullah Ibn Umar then related that this was also how his father used to do it. This hadith teaches us that we should follow the example of our elders when it comes to religious practices and rituals as they have more knowledge and experience than us. It also shows us that we should be mindful of our posture when performing religious rituals as it can affect our concentration and focus on what we are doing.
