1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from al-Nawfali from ‘Abd al-‘Azim ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Hassan al-‘Alawi in a marfu’ manner from the Imam who has said the following
“The Holy Prophet would sit with three postures: al-Qurfusa . In this posture both knees are up and one holds them with both arms and hands around them, folding both legs backwards so one can sit on them and one leg folded and the other spread over the folded one. He was never seen sitting with legs squared.”
1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْعَلَوِيِّ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) يَجْلِسُ ثَلاثاً الْقُرْفُصَا وَهُوَ أَنْ يُقِيمَ سَاقَيْهِ وَيَسْتَقْبِلَهُمَا بِيَدَيْهِ وَيَشُدَّ يَدَهُ فِي ذِرَاعِهِ وَكَانَ يَجْثُو عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَكَانَ يَثْنِي رِجْلاً وَاحِدَةً وَيَبْسُطُ عَلَيْهَا الأخْرَى وَلَمْ يُرَ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) مُتَرَبِّعاً قَطُّ.
