Sunan an-Nasai 1109 (Book 12, Hadith 81) #15717
Humility and Kindness of the Prophet ﷺ

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ was very humble and kind, even when he prostrated in prayer, he would hold his arms out from his sides so that a lamb could pass beneath them.

It was narrated from Maimunah that: When the Prophet prostrated he would hold his arms out from his sides so that if a lamb wanted to pass beneath his arms it would be able to do so.
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الأَصَمِّ - عَنْ عَمِّهِ، يَزِيدَ - وَهُوَ ابْنُ الأَصَمِّ - عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ كَانَ إِذَا سَجَدَ جَافَى يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى لَوْ أَنَّ بَهْمَةً أَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَمُرَّ تَحْتَ يَدَيْهِ مَرَّتْ
