Abu Malik: ... as is in Sahih al-Jami':
It was narrated that: Abu Hurairah said: “The Messenger of Allah forbade Shighar.” نهى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عن الإقعاء والتورك
Sunan Ibn Majah 1884Sahih (Darussalam)
The commentary: I explained iqtia', and tawruk is forbidden except in the final tashahhud, which we have known from you over the years, and this is what we have followed: that tawruk is not done except in a three- or four-rak'ah prayer, and in its final tashahhud; but not in a two-rak'ah prayer; but a few days ago we saw you doing tawruk in a two-rak'ah prayer?
Abu Layla: He was a sick person.The Shaykh : .

The Shaykh: Have a good opinion of your shaykh, he laughs.The Shaykh : (may Allah have mercy on him), you think he is still young, I have severe pain in my knee, and I have been treating it for a year, and with this constipation that has been with me, the pain intensified in my entire body, so the pain increased, the pain affected my whole body, and the pain in the knee increased, so sometimes I am forced to do tawruk, especially if I pray behind an imam I know prolongs the tashahhud, sometimes I struggle and sit in a position other than this one; so the point is that this is for an excuse, like the one who prays sitting cross-legged as you know.
Abu Malik: Well, our shaykh, on this occasion, we would like you to clarify to us the basis of your derivation from the hadith, the hadith of al-Bukhari, that tawruk is not done in a two-rak'ah prayer, but rather tawruk is in the prayer with two tashahhuds.

The Shaykh: Do you want me to remind you of the hadith of al-Bukhari, what is its text? In my opinion, there is no hadith, neither in al-Bukhari nor in any other book, that explicitly states tawruk in a two-rak'ah prayer, and I think we discussed this issue...
Abu Layla: With Abu Malik himself in front of Abu Munir.

The Shaykh: This is it, I wanted to say with Abu Munir, but I do not know if he was present or not; yes, but I do not recall the text right now until...
Abu Malik: I do not know if it is in al-Bukhari or al-Nasa'i...

The Shaykh: So there is nothing in the hadith that suggests that tawruk is in a two-rak'ah prayer; and the hadith, I am now reviewing my memory, the hadith, Allah knows best, is brief, and it is perhaps from the hadith of Malik ibn al-Huwayrith, so Malik ibn al-Huwayrith in this narration suggests that the prayer is a two-rak'ah prayer, but when we combine all the narrations, it becomes clear that it is not a two-rak'ah prayer, and that this tawruk mentioned in this hadith in al-Bukhari is in the final tashahhud, and this means that this kind of abbreviation often occurs, which misleads the one who stops at it if he does not combine the narrations that complement each other.
Abu Malik: You gathered these narrations, you compiled them in the abridged version.

The Shaykh: The abridged version of Muslim?
Abu Malik: The abridged version of al-Bukhari in the first volume.
