It is proven that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said in a battle when the two armies were seeing who would take this sword by right, so Abu Dujana took it and walked with it between the two ranks in arrogance.

Whoever says that he should raise his buttocks to the ground and erect his right leg and bend the left, and the man and woman do that alike. Others said that he should erect the right leg and sit on the left. Others differentiated between the middle sitting and the afterlife. He said in the middle he would erect the right leg and sit on the left. He said that in the last sitting he would raise his buttocks to the ground.

Sitting in prayer is the sitting of a slave in front of the master, and he does not have the right to sit unless his master commands him. He ordered the worshiper to sit in prayer, and the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, “I am only a slave, I sit as a slave sits.”
