عن عبد الله بن زيد رضى الله عنه أنه رأى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مستلقياً في المسجد، واضعاً إحدى رجليه على الأخرى‏. (‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏‏.

Qailah bint Makhramah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported

I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) seated with his arms enfolding his legs; and when I saw him in such a state of humble guise I trembled with fear due to the awe (he showed in that posture).[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].
