Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The questioner : Is there a hadith regarding the manner of sitting while eating?

The Shaykh : Yes, it is sitting upright on the heels, or extending one leg and sitting on the other, based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):

I am only a servant who eats as a servant eats and sits as a servant sits.

إنما أنا عبد آكل كما يأكل العبد وأجلس كما يجلس العبد

and others.
