He saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) praying, so he prostrated, then sat down and spread out his left leg
رأى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يصلي فسجد ثم قعد فافترش رجله اليسرىI prayed behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and when he sat down and recited the tashahhud, he spread his left foot on the ground and sat on it
صليت خلف رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فلما قعد وتشهد فرش قدمه اليسرى على الأرض فجلس عليهاWhen you prostrate, settle your prostration, and when you sit, sit on your left foot
إذا سجدت فمكن لسجودك فإذا جلست فاجلس على رجلك اليسرىAnd when he sat in the two units, he sat on his left leg and raised his right one, and when he sat in the final unit, he brought forward his left leg and raised the other and sat on his buttocks
فإذا جلس في الركعتين جلس على رجله اليسرى ونصب اليمنى فإذا جلس في الركعة الأخيرة قدم رجله اليسرى ونصب الأخرى وقعد على مقعدته
