Statement about prostrating on seven limbs
Hadith 193
اَخْبَرَنَا سُفْیَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ طَاؤُوْسٍ، عَنْ اَبِیْهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: اُمِرَ النَّبِیُّ صَلَّی اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اَنْ یَّسْجُدَ عَلٰی سَبْعَةِ اَعْضَاءٍ، وَلَا یَکُفَّ شَعْرًا وَلَا ثَوْبًا۔ قَالَ: وَقَالَ اِبْرَاهِیْمُ بْنُ مَیْسَرَةَ: سَأَلْتُ طَاؤُوْسًا عَنِ السُّجُوْدِ عَلَی الْاَنْفِ، فَقَالَ: هُوَ خَیْرٌ۔ قَالَ اِسْحَاقُ: اَیْ اَلْجَبْهَةُ وَالْاَنْفُ شَیْئٌ وَاحِدٌ.
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was commanded to prostrate on seven parts of the body, and not to gather the hair or clothes. Ibrahim bin Maisarah narrated: I asked Tawus (may Allah have mercy on him) about prostrating on the nose, and he said: It is better. Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The forehead and the nose are the same thing.
