Jami at-Tirmidhi 275 (Book 2, Hadith 127) #25840
Prostrating with Balance

SUMMARY: When prostrating, one should maintain balance and not lay their forearms down like a dog.

Jabir narrated that : the Prophet said: "When one of you prostrates, then let him be balanced, and let him not lay his forearms down like the lying of the dog".
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا سَجَدَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَعْتَدِلْ وَلاَ يَفْتَرِشْ ذِرَاعَيْهِ افْتِرَاشَ الْكَلْبِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ شِبْلٍ وَأَنَسٍ وَالْبَرَاءِ وَأَبِي حُمَيْدٍ وَعَائِشَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ جَابِرٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ يَخْتَارُونَ الاِعْتِدَالَ فِي السُّجُودِ وَيَكْرَهُونَ الاِفْتِرَاشَ كَافْتِرَاشِ السَّبُعِ

Maintain balance while prostrating
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of maintaining balance when prostrating in prayer. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that when one of us prostrates during prayer, we should be balanced and not lay our forearms down like a dog does when it lies down. This means that we should keep our arms away from our body and not let them rest on the ground while in prostration. It is important to remember this teaching as it helps us to focus on the prayer and make sure that we are doing it correctly. Additionally, this hadith teaches us to be mindful of how we act even in small things such as praying because Allah ï·» sees everything we do.
