Undesirability of Sitting with Erected Legs during Friday Sermon
عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ اَلْجُهَنِيِّ، رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُ، أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنِ الْحُبْوَةِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَالْإِمَامُ يَخْطُبُ ((رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد وَالتِّرْمِذِيّ وقالا: حَدِيث حَسَن))
Mu'adh bin Anas Al-Juhani (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade (us) from sitting with our legs drawn up to our belly (Ihtiba') during the Friday Khutbah (religious talk before the prayer). [Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].
