Answer : Those who say it is a recommended practice consider it very light, very light. For this reason, they answered those who said that if it were prescribed, a remembrance would have been prescribed for it. They answered by saying that it is a light sitting that does not require a remembrance. However, the apparent meaning of the hadith of Malik ibn Huwayris, "until he sits upright," indicates that it is not as they imagine; it is a sitting that involves some degree of stability.
