حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ بُنْدَارٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبَّاسُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ " إِذَا سَجَدَ أَمْكَنَ أَنْفَهُ وَجَبْهَتَهُ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ ، وَنَحَّى يَدَيْهِ عَنْ جَنْبَيْهِ ، وَوَضَعَ كَفَّيْهِ حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ " قَالَ : وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، وَوَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ ، وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدِيثُ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى جَبْهَتِهِ وَأَنْفِهِ ، فَإِنْ سَجَدَ عَلَى جَبْهَتِهِ دُونَ أَنْفِهِ ، فَقَدْ قَالَ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ : يُجْزِئُهُ ، وَقَالَ غَيْرُهُمْ : لَا يُجْزِئُهُ حَتَّى يَسْجُدَ عَلَى الْجَبْهَةِ وَالْأَنْفِ .
´Abu Humaid As-Sa'idi narrated:` "When the Prophet would prostrate, he placed his nose and his forehead on the ground, and he held his forearms away from his sides, and he placed his hands parallel to his shoulders."
Brief Explanation
1؎ : Regarding placing the forehead and nose on the ground during prostration (sajdah), there are three opinions:
1- It is obligatory (wajib) to place both.
2- It is obligatory to place only the forehead; placing the nose is recommended (mustahabb).
3- Placing either one of the two is sufficient; placing both is recommended (mustahabb).
In light of the evidences, caution lies in the first opinion. A follower of the Sunnah does not need to unnecessarily seek loopholes.
