Sahih Muslim 493a (Book 4, Hadith 264) #8269
Moderation in Prayer

SUMMARY: Moderation should be observed in prayer and one should not stretch out their arms like a dog.

Anas reported: The Messenger of Allah said: Observe moderation in prostration, and let none of you stretch out his forearms (on the ground) like a dog.

It is also important to note that one must not stretch out their arms on the ground like a dog would do, as this is considered disrespectful.
