514. Sahl bin Mu'ādḥ narrated from his father: "The Prophet ﷺ prohibited Al-Habwah on Friday while the Imām is delivering the Khuṭbah." (Ḥasan)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Ḥasan. Abū Marḥūm's name is 'Abdur-Rāḥim bin Maimūn.
There are those among the people of knowledge who dislike Al-Habwah on Friday while the Imām is delivering the Khuṭbah. Some of them permitted it, among them 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar and others, and it is the view of Ahmad and Ishāq. They did not see any harm in Al-Habwah while the Imām is delivering the Khuṭbah.

Commentary
Al-Habwah to sit with one's knees gathered up against the stomach, while wrapping one's arms or garment around them, or, sitting in the same manner when the private area becomes exposed, as mentioned in chapter 24 in the Chapters on Clothing, Hadīth no. (1754)
If a person sits while wrapping a cloth around him, it will possibly make him sleep and also there is fear of his 'Aurah being exposed.
