قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الِاتِّكَاءُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ رَهْبَانِيَّةُ الْعَرَبِ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ مَجْلِسُهُ مَسْجِدُهُ وَ صَوْمَعَتُهُ بَيْتُهُ.
“The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘Sitting in the Mosque in a leaning posture is the monkish practice of the Arabs. The gathering place of believing people is the Mosque, and their monastery is their home.’”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الِاحْتِبَاءُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ حِيطَانُ الْعَرَبِ[2].
“The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘Sitting in the Mosque in al- ‘Ihtiba ’ posture (knees folded with thighs against the belly by a piece of cloth or by one’s arms) is the wall of Arabs.’”
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الِاحْتِبَاءُ حِيطَانُ الْعَرَبِ.
“The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘Sitting in the Mosque in al- ‘ Ihtiba ’ posture, (knees folded with thighs against the belly by a piece of cloth or by one’s arms) is the wall of Arabs.’”
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع- عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَحْتَبِي بِثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ يُغَطِّي عَوْرَتَهُ فَلَا بَأْسَ.
“Once I asked Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) about a man who uses one piece of cloth for al- ‘Ihtiba’. The Imam said, ‘If it covers his private parts then it is not an offense.’”
لَا يَجُوزُ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَحْتَبِيَ مُقَابِلَ الْكَعْبَةِ[1].
“It is not permissible for a man to perform al-’Ihtiba’ across the Ka’bah.”
