Bayhaqi 5910 — Sitting with knees drawn up (ihtiba) while the imam

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ، ثنا خَالِدُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ الرَّقِّيُّ، ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الزِّبْرِقَانِ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ شَدَّادِ بْنِ ⦗٣٣٣⦘ أَوْسٍ قَالَ: " شَهِدْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بِبَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ فَجَمَّعَ بِنَا، فَنَظَرْتُ، فَإِذَا جُلُّ مَنْ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَرَأَيْتُهُمْ مُحْتَبِيِينَ، وَالْإِمَامُ يَخْطُبُ ". قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَحْتَبِي وَالْإِمَامُ يَخْطُبُ، وَأَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، وَشُرَيْحٌ، وَصَعْصَعَةُ بْنُ صُوحَانَ، وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ، وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ النَّخَعِيُّ، وَمَكْحُولٌ، وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، وَنُعَيْمُ بْنُ سَلَامَةَ. قَالَ: لَا بَأْسَ بِهَا، وَلَمْ يَبْلُغْنِي أَنَّ أَحَدًا كَرِهَهَا إِلَّا عُبَادَةَ بْنَ نُسَيٍّ ".
Ya'la bin Shaddad bin Aws said: I was present with Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) in Bayt al-Maqdis, and he led us in the Friday prayer. I looked, and most of those in the mosque were Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (may Allah be pleased with them). I saw that they were sitting with their knees drawn up (ihtiba') while the imam was delivering the sermon. (b) Imam Abu Dawud (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to sit with his knees drawn up during the sermon, and Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) and others did not consider there to be any harm in it.
