🔹How did the Prophet eat?
The Prophet said: I eat as a slave eats, and I sit as a slave sits. Since indeed I’m a slave.
Source: Sahih al-Jami (no. 8)
Ibn al-Qayyim: The Prophet used to sit on his feet while eating.
He used to place his knees on the ground and would place the bottom of his left foot on the upper part of his right foot in humility for the Lord, and in respect for the food and for those present.
This is the best way to sit for eating, because the organs of the body will be in their proper position along with observing good manners.
