(Book 9, Hadith 63) #35444
Prostration Etiquette

SUMMARY: When prostrating, one should place their palms on the ground in addition to their forehead.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar used to say, "When one of you puts his forehead on the ground he should put his palms on the place where he puts his forehead. Then, when he rises, he should raise them, for the hands prostrate just as the face prostrates".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، كَانَ يَقُولُ مَنْ وَضَعَ جَبْهَتَهُ بِالأَرْضِ فَلْيَضَعْ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَى الَّذِي يَضَعُ عَلَيْهِ جَبْهَتَهُ ثُمَّ إِذَا رَفَعَ فَلْيَرْفَعْهُمَا فَإِنَّ الْيَدَيْنِ تَسْجُدَانِ كَمَا يَسْجُدُ الْوَجْهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us about the etiquette of prostrating in prayer. It is narrated by Yahya from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar used to say that when one of you puts his forehead on the ground he should put his palms on the place where he puts his forehead. Then when he rises, he should raise them as well because hands also prostrate just like the face does. This hadith emphasizes that we must be mindful of our posture and movements during prayer and take care to perform it with utmost respect and reverence for Allah Almighty. We must remember that our prayers are a form of communication with Allah and therefore we must strive to make it as perfect as possible by following all its rules and regulations properly.
