501 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ: ثنا ابْنُ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: «أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُسْجَدَ مِنْهُ عَلَي سَبْعٍ عَلَي يَدَيْهِ، وَرُكْبَتَيْهِ، وَأَطْرَافِ أَصَابِعِهِ، وَجَبْهَتِهِ، وَنَهَي إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُكَفَّ الشَّعْرُ وَالثِّيَابُ» قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: وَأَرَانَا ابْنُ طَاوُسٍ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَي جَبِينِهِ ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِهَا حَتَّي بَلَغَ بِهَا طَرَفَ أَنْفِهِ وَكَانَ أَبِي يَعُدُّ هَذَا وَاحِدًا
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was commanded to prostrate on seven parts: both hands, both knees, the edges of the toes, and the forehead. And the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was forbidden from gathering his hair or clothes (during prayer). Sufyan says: The son of Tawus demonstrated this to us; he placed his hand on his forehead, then brought it to the edge of his nose and said: My father used to count this as one part.
