حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ كَاسِبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْهَادِ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " إِذَا سَجَدَ الْعَبْدُ سَجَدَ مَعَهُ سَبْعَةُ آرَابٍ : وَجْهُهُ ، وَكَفَّاهُ ، وَرُكْبَتَاهُ ، وَقَدَمَاهُ " .
´It was narrated from ‘Abbas bin ‘Abdul-Muttalib that he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say:` “When a person prostrates, seven parts of his body prostrate with him: His face, his two hands, his two knees, and his two feet.”

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefit:
Prostration (sujud) is the most excellent way for a servant to express humility before Allah. At this moment, seven parts of the body touch the ground, as if all these limbs are practically expressing servitude.
The combination of the heart’s humility and the limbs touching the ground constitutes the true prostration.
A servant should strive to make his prostration as complete as possible so that he may attain the greatest possible pleasure of Allah.
