حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَرَى عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ ؓ يَتَرَبَّعُ فِي الصَّلاَةِ إِذَا جَلَسَ فَفَعَلْتُهُ وَأَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ حَدِيثُ السِّنِّ فَنَهَانِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَقَالَ إِنَّمَا سُنَّةُ الصَّلاَةِ

أَنْ تَنْصِبَ رِجْلَكَ الْيُمْنَى وَتَثْنِيَ الْيُسْرَى فَقُلْتُ إِنَّكَ تَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رِجْلَىَّ لاَ تَحْمِلاَنِي

I saw ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar crossing his legs while sitting in the prayer and I, a mere youngster in those days, did the same. Ibn ʿUmar forbade me to do so, and said, "The proper way is to keep the right foot propped up and bend the left in the prayer." I said questioningly, "But you are doing so (crossing the legs)." He said, "My feet cannot bear my weight."
