The Seal of the Prophet’s ﷺ blessed way of sitting

Sitting in the 'goat' position refers to a specific way of sitting where one sits on their derrière/bottom, bringing their thighs close to their abdomen, and clasping their shins with their hands. This posture is known in Urdu as 'akron bethna' or 'goat mara kar bethna'. Sayyidatuna Qila رضي الله عنها said that she saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sitting in the mosque in such a humble ‘goat’ posture that she trembled out of awe. The Noble Prophet ﷺ often sat in this posture. This was a humble state for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and it was a way of expressing poverty, need, and servitude, as he said, أَجْلِسُ كَمَا يَجْلِسُ الْعَبْدُ وَأَكُلُ كَمَا يَا كُلُ الْعَبْدُ "I sit like a common man and eat like a common man." This meant that he did not have the arrogance of the proud. The Noble Prophet ﷺ disliked the sitting posture of the arrogant, rebellious, tyrannical, and proud.
