Yahya related to me from Malik from Sadaqa ibn Yasar that al-
Mughira ibn Hakim saw Abdullah ibn Umar sit back from the two sajdas
of the prayer onto the top of his feet. When he had finished, al-
Mughira mentioned it to him, and Abdullah ibn Umar explained, "It is
not a sunna of the prayer. I do it because I am ill."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Dinar that he
had seen Abdullah ibn Umar with a man praying at his side. When the
man sat in the fourth raka, heput both feet to one side and crossed
them. When Abdullah finished, he disapproved of that to him, and the
man protested, "But you do the same." Abdullah ibn Umar said, "I am
ill."

cross his legs in the sitting position of the prayer.He said, "So I
did the same, and I was young at the time. Abdullah ibn Umar forbade
me and said, 'The sunna of the prayer is that you keep your right foot
vertical and lay your left foot down.' I said to him, 'But you do the
same (as I did).' He said, 'My feet do not support me.' "
