أَبِي إِسْحَاق، قَالَ : قُلْتُ
لِلْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ : " أَيْنَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَضَعُ وَجْهَهُ إِذَا سَجَدَ ؟ فَقَالَ : بَيْنَ كَفَّيْهِ " . وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ ، وَأَبِي حُمَيْدٍ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدِيثُ الْبَرَاءِ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي اخْتَارَهُ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنْ تَكُونَ يَدَاهُ قَرِيبًا مِنْ أُذُنَيْهِ .
´Abu Ishaq narrated:` "I said to Al-Bara bin Azib: 'Where would the Prophet place his face when he prostrated?' He said: 'Between his hands.'"

It has been mentioned in the previous hadith of Abu Humayd radi Allahu anhu that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, in prostration (sujud), placed his palms in line with his shoulders, meaning that both positions are permissible.
