باب التَّجَافِي في السُّجُودِ:Chapter: Spreading out in prostration
Hadith 1368
أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَسَّانَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، وَإِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْأَصَمِّ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْأَصَمِّ، عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ، قَالَتْ: "كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا سَجَدَ، جَافَى حَتَّى لَوْ شَاءَتْ بَهْمَةٌ تَمُرُّ تَحْتَهُ لَمَرَّتْ".
Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) said that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed prostration, he would keep his arms away from his sides, so far apart that if a kid goat wanted, it could pass underneath (his arms). (That is, he would keep his arms so open that a kid goat could pass beneath them.)
