Is it authentic that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade eating while leaning?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, regarding eating while leaning, when I attended the 'aqiqah for my daughter and Shaykh 'Umar al-Ashqar was present, I heard him say that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He forbade eating while leaning." I did not hear you affirm or deny this hadith, if it is a hadith. So when I asked you yesterday, you told me that if a man places his hand on the table, that is not leaning. Can you clarify the matter for me? If leaning is forbidden, what is the forbidden leaning?

The Shaykh : You have lengthened the explanation and the question for me. Ask one question at a time.

The questioner : Okay, is it authentic that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He forbade eating while leaning"?

The Shaykh : The Shaykh : The answer is: No.

The questioner : No, okay, so the other question: perhaps you did not pay attention to what Shaykh 'Umar al-Ashqar said when he stated that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He forbade eating while leaning." For this reason, I thought that he (peace and blessings be upon him) had forbidden it. So may Allah reward you with good.
