Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب صلاة الجماعةBook: On the Explanation of Congregational Prayer
بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي صَلَاةِ الْقَاعِدِ فِي النَّافِلَةِWhat is reported about sitting prayer in voluntary prayers
Hadith 311
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ ، أَنَّ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ ، وَسَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ " كَانَا يُصَلِّيَانِ النَّافِلَةَ وَهُمَا مُحْتَبِيَانِ "
It reached Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, from Hazrat Urwah bin Zubair and Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib that they used to perform voluntary prayers sitting, with both feet upright and their buttocks touching the ground.
