I am looking for evidence on the prohibition of sitting with crossed legs i.e. knees flexed , and arms wrapped around them , during the Jumu'ah khutbah.
Also , is it only for the Jumu'ah khutbah or elsewhere too?
May Allah reward all of your efforts and we ask Allah 'azza wa jal to purify our intentions , for His sake only.

BaarakAllaahu feekum

Wa Feeka Baarak Allahu.

I read this in Riyadus Saliheen a while ago.  I just checked it against Da'eef Ahaadeeth of An-Nawaawee's Riyadus Saliheen and it wasn't there.

"Mu'adh bin Anas Al-Juhani said: the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'Alaihi wa Sallam) forbad us from sitting with our legs drawn up to our belly (ihtiba') during the Fiday Khutbah." [Abu Daud and At-Tirmidhi}.

Wa Allahu Alim!
