وَقَدْ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الْكَارِزِيُّ، أنبأ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ أَنَّهُ حَكَى، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " الْإِقْعَاءُ وَهُوَ أَنْ يَلْصَقَ إِلْيَتَيْهِ بِالْأَرْضِ وَيَنْتَصِبَ عَلَى سَاقَيْهِ وَيَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ بِالْأَرْضِ، وَقَالَ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ: الْإِقْعَاءُ جُلُوسُ الْإِنْسَانِ عَلَى إِلْيَتَيْهِ نَاصِبًا فَخِذَيْهِ مِثْلَ إِقْعَاءِ الْكَلْبِ وَالسَّبُعِ " قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: " وَهَذَا النَّوْعُ مِنَ الْإِقْعَاءِ غَيْرُ مَا رُوِّينَا، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَابْنِ عُمَرَ، وَهَذَا مَنْهِيٌّ عَنْهُ، وَمَا رُوِّينَا عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَابْنِ عُمَرَ مَسْنُونٌ، وَأَمَّا حَدِيثُ أَبِي الْجَوْزَاءِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ " يَنْهَى عَنْ عَقِبِ الشَّيْطَانِ وَكَانَ يَفْرِشُ رِجْلَهُ الْيُسْرَى وَيَنْصِبُ رِجْلَهُ الْيُمْنَى " ⦗١٧٤⦘ فَيُحْتَمَلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ وَارِدًا فِي الْجُلُوسِ لِلتَّشَهُّدِ الْأَخِيرِ، فَلَا يَكُونَ مُنَافِيًا لِمَا رُوِّينَا عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَابْنِ عُمَرَ، وَفِي الْجُلُوسِ بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
(a) It is reported from Abu Ubaydah that iq'a' means that a person places his buttocks on the ground, keeps his shins upright and places both his hands on the ground.
(b) In another place he defines it thus: that a person sits on his buttocks in such a way that his thighs are raised (like a beast of prey and a dog).
(c) The Shaykh, Imam al-Bayhaqi (may Allah have mercy on him), said: This type of iq'a' is not the one we have reported in the narrations of Abdullah bin Abbas and Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both); rather, the iq'a' here is what has been forbidden, and what is in the narrations reported from Ibn Abbas and Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) is Sunnah. As for the hadith of Abu al-Jawza', which he narrates from Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to forbid "the squatting of Satan" and he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to lay his left leg down and keep his right leg upright, there is the possibility that he (peace and blessings be upon him) was in the final tashahhud, so it does not contradict the narrations we have mentioned from Ibn Abbas and Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) about the sitting between the two prostrations. And Allah knows best.
