‌ Food was brought to the messenger of Allah ﷺ, and I said to him : “May Allah make me your ransom! Why not eat while reclining, as it would be more comfortable for you?”. Then he lowered his head until his forehead almost touched the ground, and he said: “No; rather, I eat as a servant eats, while sitting”. ‘Aicha said :”I never saw the messenger of Allah ﷺ eat while reclining until he died may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.
