The authenticity of the hadith of 'Aishah regarding eating while leaning

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the authenticity of the hadith narrated by Ahmad, Ibn Sa'd, and al-Baghawi in his Sharh al-Sunnah from 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her)
O Messenger of Allahقلت يا رسول الله كل جعلني الله فداك
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1067Sahih (Darussalam)
leaning, for it is easier for you. So he bent his head until his forehead nearly touched the ground, and he said: Rather, I eat as a slave eats and sit as a slave sits.

Answer:
The well-known version in the authentic hadith is: "I do not eat
I do not eat while leaning.آكل متكئا
." Al-Bukhari narrated it. The Sunnah is not to lean while eating, not to lean to one side, but rather to eat while sitting cross-legged or in a squatting position, or something similar. Leaning means tilting to one side. As for the ruling on what is best, we do not mention its state. Hmm.
