Arabic text

1134 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّى الْحِمْصِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الِاحْتِبَاءِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ» يَعْنِي وَالْإِمَامُ يَخْطُبُ

Commentary

The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ has disapproved of Ihtibâ' (sitting with one's thighs gathered up against the stomach while wrapping one's arms or garment around them) during sermon. For one thing, it induces sleep and, secondly it defeats the very purpose of attending the sermon.
