Undesirability of Eating in a Reclining Posture

Abu Juhaifah Wahb bin 'Abdullah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "I do not eat reclining (against a pillow)." <b>[Al-Bukhari]</b>.

عن أبى جحيفة وهب بن عبد الله رضى الله عنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم‏:‏ ‏

‏ لا آكل متكئاً‏

‏.‏‏‏((‏رواه البخارى‏)‏‏)‏‏

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

I saw Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) eating some dates while sitting on his buttocks, with his legs raised. <b>[Muslim]</b>.

وعن أنس رضى الله عنه قال‏:‏ رأيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم جالساً مقعياً يأكل تمراً.‏ ‏‏((رواه مسلم))‏
