Chapter 43 · General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab)فِي الرَّجُلِ يَضَعُ إِحْدَى رِجْلَيْهِ عَلَى الأُخْرَى
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ. ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَضَعَ وَقَالَ قُتَيْبَةُ: يَرْفَعَ الرَّجُلُ إِحْدَى رِجْلَيْهِ عَلَى الْأُخْرَى، زَادَ قُتَيْبَةُ وَهُوَ مُسْتَلْقٍ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ .
