(إِذَا كَانَ يُصَلِّي بِإِشَارَةٍ، فَلْيَكُنْ إِشَارَةُ السُّجُودِ أَكْبَرَ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ)
(If praying by gesture, the sign for sujood should be larger than for ruku‘)
Mishkat al-Masabih 1346 — If praying by gesture, the sign for sujood
وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَاجَةٍ فَجِئْتُ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ نَحْوَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَيَجْعَلُ السُّجُودَ أَخفض من الرُّكُوع. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
Jabir said, “God’s Messenger sent me on some business, and when I came to him he was praying on his riding-beast towards the east and making the prostration lower than the bowing.” Abu Dawud transmitted it.
