283. Tāwūs said: “We asked Ibn ‘Abbās about squatting (sitting) on the heels. He said: ‘It is the Sunnah.' We said: 'We think that it is difficult for a man.' He said: 'Rather, it is a Sunnah of your Prophet [ﷺ].'" (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Hasan [Ṣaḥīḥ]. Some of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ held a view in accordance with this Hadīth. They did not see any harm in squatting. This is the saying of some of the people of Makkah among the people of Fiqh and knowledge. [He said:] Most of the people of knowledge disliked squatting between the two prostrations.

Arabic text

٢٨٣ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي ‌أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ‌طَاوُسًا يَقُولُ: «قُلْنَا ‌لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي الْإِقْعَاءِ» عَلَى الْقَدَمَيْنِ، قَالَ: هِيَ السُّنَّةُ، فَقُلْنَا: إِنَّا لَنَرَاهُ جَفَاءً بِالرَّجُلِ، قَالَ: بَلْ هِيَ سُنَّةُ نَبِيِّكُمْ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ. وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ إِلَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، لَا يَرَوْنَ بِالْإِقْعَاءِ بَأْسًا. وَهُوَ قَوْلُ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْفِقْهِ وَالْعِلْمِ. وَأَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ يَكْرَهُونَ الْإِقْعَاءَ بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ.
