Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #26428

Muhammad bin Bashar narrated to us, Bundar narrated to us, Abu Amir Al-Aqdi narrated to us, Fulayh bin Sulayman narrated to us, Abbas bin Sahl narrated to me, on the authority of Abu Humayd. Al-Sa’idi, that when the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, prostrated, he would place his nose and forehead toward the ground and move his hands away from his sides. He placed his palms on the same level as his shoulders. He said: On the authority of Ibn Abbas, Wael bin Hajr, and Abu Saeed. Abu Issa said the hadith of my father Praiseworthy, Hasan and Sahih Hadith. What is prescribed according to the people of knowledge is for the man to prostrate on his forehead and nose. If he prostrates on His forehead is below His nose. Some scholars said that it is sufficient. Others said that it is not sufficient until he prostrates on the forehead and nose.
