994. Nāfi' reported that Ibn 'Umar once saw a man leaning upon his left hand while he was sitting in the prayer — Hārūn bin Zaid (one of the narrators) said: "a man leaning upon his left side." — Ibn 'Umar said to him: "Do not sit in this manner, for this is the manner in which those who are punished sit." (Hasan)

Arabic text

994 - حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي الزَّرْقَاءِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، وَهَذَا لَفْظُهُ جَمِيعًا عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، " أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَجُلًا يَتَّكِئُ عَلَى يَدِهِ الْيُسْرَى وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ فِي الصَّلَاةِ - قَالَ هَارُونُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، سَاقِطًا عَلَى شِقِّهِ الْأَيْسَرِ، ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا -، فَقَالَ لَهُ: «لَا تَجْلِسْ هَكَذَا، فَإِنَّ هَكَذَا يَجْلِسُ الَّذِينَ يُعَذَّبُونَ»

Commentary

In case, a person is unable to sit up, he should pray lying down rather than leaning on his side.
