Bayhaqi 3668 — What is reported on the manner of this sitting

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو عَمْرِو بْنُ مَطَرٍ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، ثنا أَبِي، ثنا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنِ الْهَيْثَمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ هُوَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: لَأَنْ أَقْعُدَ عَلَى جَمْرَةٍ أَوْ جَمْرَتَيْنِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَقْعُدَ مُتَرَبِّعًا فِي الصَّلَاةِ " وَهَذَا قَدْ حَمَلَهُ الشَّافِعِيُّ فِي كِتَابِ عَلِيٍّ وَعَبْدِ اللهِ عَلَى الْإِطْلَاقِ، وَقَالَ: يُكْرَهُ مَا يَكْرَهُ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ مِنْ تَرَبُّعِ الرَّجُلِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ، وَهُمْ، يَعْنِي الْعِرَاقِيِّينَ، يُخَالِفُونَ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ، وَيَقُولُونَ: قِيَامُ صَلَاةِ الْجَالِسِ التَّرَبُّعُ. ثُمَّ فِي كِتَابِ الْبُوَيْطِيِّ قَالَ: يَقْعُدُ فِي مَوْضِعِ الْقِيَامِ مُتَرَبِّعًا، وَكَيْفَ أَمْكَنَهُ وَكَأَنَّهُ حَمَلَهُ عَلَى الْخُصُوصِ، أَوْ ذَهَبَ إِلَيْهِ بِبَعْضِ مَا مَضَى وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says: That I should sit on one or two live coals is dearer to me than that I should sit cross-legged in prayer.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned this without restriction in the book of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him).
And he said: A man's sitting cross-legged in prayer, which Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) disliked, is disliked; and the Iraqis oppose Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) and say that the standing of one who prays sitting is sitting cross-legged.
Then in the book of al-Buwayti (may Allah have mercy on him) he says: He sits cross-legged in place of standing, or in whatever way he is able. It is as though he took it to apply to a specific case, or he held that view on the basis of some of what has preceded. (And Allah knows best.)
