أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ثنا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ثنا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " نَهَى عَنِ اشْتِمَالِ الصَّمَّاءِ وَالِاحْتِبَاءِ فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ وَأَنْ يَرْفَعَ الرَّجُلُ إِحْدَى رِجْلَيْهِ عَلَى الْأُخْرَى وَهُوَ مُسْتَلْقٍ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ " رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ قُتَيْبَةَ وَيُشْبِهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ النَّهْيُ عَنْ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ الرَّجُلُ إِحْدَى رِجْلَيْهِ عَلَى الْأُخْرَى مَعَ ضِيقٍ مُسْتَلْقِيًا مِنْ أَجْلِ انْكِشَافِ الْعَوْرَةِ؛ لِأَنَّ الْمُسْتَلْقِيَ إِذَا رَفَعَ إِحْدَى رِجْلَيْهِ عَلَى الْأُخْرَى مَعَ ضِيقِ الْإِزَارِ، لَمْ يَسْلَمْ مِنْ أَنْ يَنْكَشِفَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ فَخِذَيْهِ وَالْفَخِذُ عَوْرَةٌ، فَأَمَّا إِذَا كَانَ الْإِزَارُ سَابِغًا أَوْ كَانَ لَابِسُهُ عَنِ التَّكَشُّفِ مُتَوَقِّيًا فَلَا بَأْسَ بِهِ، قَالَهُ أَبُو سُلَيْمَانَ الْخَطَّابِيُّ فِيمَا بَلَغَنِي عَنْهُ اسْتِدْلَالًا بِمَا.
(a) Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade ishtimal al-samma, sitting with the knees drawn up (ihtiba') in a single garment, and a man lifting one of his legs and placing it over the other while lying on his back.
(b) It is likely that the prohibition of a man lifting one leg and placing it over the other while lying down is because of the exposure of the private area, for when a man lying down lifts one leg over the other while wearing a tight waist-wrapper, he will not be safe from something being exposed, and the thigh itself is part of the private area. So if the waist-wrapper is ample, or the one wearing it guards against exposure, there is no harm in it. This was said by Abu Sulayman al-Khattabi (may Allah have mercy on him).
