Arabic text
١١٥٧ - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «إِنَّ مِنْ سُنَّةِ الصَّلَاةِ أَنْ تُضْجِعَ رِجْلَكَ الْيُسْرَى، وَتَنْصِبَ الْيُمْنَى».

Commentary
In this Hadīth there is no specific mention of its being the first or the second Testimony of Faith (Tashahhud). Therefore, the Hanafis are of the view of sitting thusly in every Tashahhud (the sitting position of prayer). But in other authentic narrations, a different form of sitting for the final Tashahhud is described, which is known as Tawarruk. See No. 1263. Therefore, this style should be ascribed to the first Tashahhud. This is what the compiler intended to point out.
