Bayhaqi 2694 — Where to place the hands in prostration

أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، أَخْبَرَنِي فُلَيْحٌ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبَّاسُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ قَالَ: اجْتَمَعَ أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ وَأَبُو أُسَيْدٍ وَسَهْلُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ فَذَكَرُوا صَلَاةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ: أَنَا أَعْلَمُكُمْ بِصَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَقَالَ: " ثُمَّ سَجَدَ فَأَمْكَنَ أَنْفَهُ وَجَبْهَتَهُ، وَنَحَّى يَدَيْهِ عَنْ جَنْبَيْهِ، وَوَضَعَ كَفَّيْهِ حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ ".
Abbas bin Sahl (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Abu Humayd, Abu Usayd, Sahl bin Sa'd and Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with them) were sitting together. They began discussing the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Abu Humayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I am the most knowledgeable of you all about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." Then he mentioned the complete hadith. In it there is that he (peace and blessings be upon him) prostrated, firmly placing his nose and forehead on the ground, keeping his arms away from his sides, and placing his palms level with his shoulders.
