al-Sakhtiyānī and Kathīr ibn Kathīr ibn al-Muṭṭalib ibn Abī Wadāʿah—one of them adding more than the other—through Saʿīd ibn Jubayr with it. The ḥāfiẓ has spoken extensively about the differences among the narrators in their isnād, concluding that the differences do not harm [the authenticity]. Whoever wishes to examine this should refer to "Fatḥ al-Bārī" (6/401-402, al-Salafiyyah).

- "He forbade squatting and sitting cross-legged in prayer." It was recorded by Aḥmad (3/233) and al-Sirāj in his "Musnad" (4/73/1) from Yaḥyá ibn Isḥāq al-Sayliḥīnī, who narrated to us from Ḥammād ibn Salamah from Qatādah from Anas, as a marfūʿ ḥadīth. al-Bayhaqī said: "Yaḥyá ibn Isḥāq al-Sayliḥīnī uniquely narrated it from Ḥammād ibn Salamah." I say: Both are trustworthy narrators from the men of Muslim, so the isnād is authentic. However, ʿAbd Allāh ibn Aḥmad said after narrating this ḥadīth in his father's Musnad: "My father had abandoned this ḥadīth." I say: Perhaps the reason for abandoning it is that both squatting and sitting cross-legged in prayer have been authentically reported from the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) as his actions in two instances: squatting between the two prostrations, and sitting cross-legged in the second tashahhud that is followed by the salām, as explained in my book "The Description of the Prophet's Prayer (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam)." However, reconciliation is possible by interpreting the ḥadīth as referring to squatting and sitting cross-legged outside of the two mentioned instances, as al-Nawawī and others did with the ḥadīth: "He used to forbid the devil's sitting," saying that it refers to the prohibited squatting. Even though it has been criticized for being disconnected, it is authentic due to supporting evidence, as I have clarified in "Ṣaḥīḥ Abū Dāwūd" (752), including the ḥadīth of the chapter. And Allāh knows best.
