282. 'Alī narrated: "Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said to me: 'O 'Alī! I love for you what I love for myself, and I dislike for you what I dislike for myself. Do not squat between
prostrations.”’ (Da’if)
Abū ‘Eisā said: We do not know of this narration as a Hadīth of ‘Alī except from the narration of Abū Iṣhāq, from Al-Ḥārīth, from ‘Alī. Some of the people of knowledge graded Al-Ḥārīth Al-A’war weak.
Most of the people of knowledge act according to this: They dislike squatting.
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from ‘Āishah, Anas, and Abū Hurairah.

Commentary
[Al-Iq’ā] has two explanations:
A person places his buttocks on the ground as well as both hands, and erects his calves in such a way that keeps the feet on the ground and the knees are in parallel to the shoulders; this form of sitting is unanimously disliked, because this form of sitting is that of a dog.
Bending the tips of the toes erecting the feet upright and then to sit on the heels; this is ‘Makruh Tanzihi’. (Al-Mughni: 2/206)
