Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever among you is able to prostrate should prostrate; and whoever is not able to, should not raise anything up to his forehead in order to prostrate on it. Rather, he should perform his bowing and prostration by gesturing."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and its narrators have been declared trustworthy; no harmful criticism has been made of them, and Allah knows best.
