Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali from Hammad ibn ‘Uthaman who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is undesirable for one in the state of Ihram to sit in Masjid al-Haram facing al-Ka‘bah in al-‘Ihtiba’ position (with one’s knees raised and legs against thighs with hips on the ground).”’ شهور - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (17/331))
