۞
Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Whenever the Prophet of God (a.s) entered a house, he sat in the place closest to the exit. Sometimes he sat on his shanks, and held his knees with his hands. Sometimes he bent one leg and crossed his other leg over it. He was never seen sitting with his legs crossed.
عنه (عليه السلام) قال
كان رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) إذا دخل منزلا قعد في أدنى المجلس إليه حين يدخل، وكان جلوسه (صلى الله عليه وآله) ثلاثا: جلوس القرفصاء، وهو أن يقيم ساقيه ويستقبلهما بيديه فيشد يده في ذراعه، وكان يجثو على ركبتيه، وكان يثني رجلا واحدة ويبسط عليها الأخرى، ولم ير متربعا قط.
