Hittan bin ´Abdullah Ar-Raqashi said: I performed a Salat (prayer) with Abu Musa Al-Ash´ari and when he was in the Qa´dah, one of the people said: ´´The prayer and Zakat.´´ He (the narrator) said: When Abu Musa had finished the prayer after Salam (salutation) he faced the people and asked: ´´Who of you said such and such a thing?´´ They were silent. He again said: ´´Who of you said such and such a thing?´´ O Hittan, it is perhaps you said it.´´ He (Hittan) said: ´´NO, I did not say it. I was afraid that you might scold me for it.´´ A man said: ´´I said it, but I intended nothing but good.´´ Abu Musa said: ´´Don´t you know what to recite in your prayers? Verily, the Messenger of Allah sallahu alayhi wa sallam addressed us, and explained to us all its aspects and taught us how to perfom prayer (properly).

Sitting on both feet
