رَأَيْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ ع قَاعِداً وَاضِعاً إِحْدَى رِجْلَيْهِ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَكْرَهُونَ هَذِهِ الْجِلْسَةَ وَ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّهَا جِلْسَةُ الرَّبِّ- فَقَالَ إِنِّي إِنَّمَا جَلَسْتُ هَذِهِ الْجِلْسَةَ لِلْمَلَالَةِ وَ الرَّبُّ لَا يَمَلُّ وَ لا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَ لا نَوْمٌ.
English translationMuhammad Sarwar
2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from those whom he has mentioned (in his book) from abu Hamza al-Thumali who has said the following: “I saw Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.) when sitting place one foot over his thigh. I said, ‘People dislike this sitting posture and say, “It is the sitting posture of the Lord.’” The Imam said, ‘I sit this way to relieve myself of tiredness. The Lord does not tire and slumber or sleep cannot overcome Him.’”
