Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 242 — the Prophet ﷺ said: When one of you stands
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : إِذَا قَامَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ ، فَلْيَبْدَأْ فَلْيُسَوِّ مَوْضِعَ سُجُودِهِ ، وَلَا يَدَعْهُ حَتَّى إِذَا أَهْوَى لِيَسْجُدَ نَفَخَ ، ثُمَّ سَجَدَ ، فَلْيَسْجُدْ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى جَمْرَةٍ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ عَلَى نَفْخَتِهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When one of you stands for prayer, let him level the place of his prostration (at the very start), and not leave it until, when he bends down to prostrate, he blows (on it) and then prostrates. For one of you to prostrate on a burning ember is better than for him to prostrate on a spot he has blown on."
