يَسْتَعِينُوا بِالرُّكَبِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that some of the noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) complained to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that when they are corpulent, they find it difficult to perform prostration. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Take help from your knees.
