Sunan Ibn Majah 869 (Book 5, Hadith 67) #30221
Balanced Posture in Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) demonstrated a balanced posture when bowing in prayer.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "When the Messenger of Allah bowed, he neither raised his head nor lowered it, rather (he did something) between that".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ الْمُعَلِّمِ، عَنْ بُدَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْجَوْزَاءِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ إِذَا رَكَعَ لَمْ يَشْخَصْ رَأْسَهُ وَلَمْ يُصَوِّبْهُ، وَلَكِنْ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by 'Aishah describes the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) posture when bowing in prayer. He neither raised his head too high nor lowered it too low, but instead maintained a balanced position between the two extremes. This teaches us to strive for balance and moderation in all aspects of our lives, including our religious practices. We should not be extreme or fanatical, but instead seek to find a middle ground that is pleasing to Allah and beneficial for ourselves and others. Additionally, this hadith serves as an example of how we should conduct ourselves during prayer; we should strive to maintain a balanced posture throughout the duration of our salat so that we can focus on worshipping Allah with sincerity and humility.
