باب: ما يستحب للمرأة من ترك التجافي في الركوع والسجود
Chapter: It is recommended for a woman not to keep her limbs apart in bowing and prostration
Bayhaqi 3197 — It is recommended for a woman not to keep her limbs
قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ النَّخَعِيُّ: كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ تُؤْمَرُ إِذَا سَجَدَتْ أَنْ تَلْزِقَ بَطْنَهَا بِفَخِذَيْهَا كَيْلَا تَرْتَفِعَ عَجُزَتُهَا وَلَا تَجَافِيَ كَمَا يُجَافِي الرَّجُلُ".
Ibrahim al-Nakha'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "The woman used to be commanded, when she prostrates, to press her stomach against her thighs so that her buttocks are not raised, and not to keep (her limbs) apart in the way a man keeps them apart."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَقِيهُ، أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زِيَادٍ قَالَ: ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ: قَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ " إِذَا سَجَدْتِ الْمَرْأَةُ فَلْتَضُمَّ فَخِذَيْهَا " وَقَدْ رُوِيَ فِيهِ حَدِيثَانِ ضَعِيفَانِ لَا يُحْتَجُّ بِأَمْثَالِهِمَا.
Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says: When a woman prostrates, she should keep her thighs together.
