Sahih Muslim 496 (Book 4, Hadith 269) #8274
The Humble Prostration of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was so humble and submissive in his prayer that even a lamb could pass between his arms.

Maimuna reported: When the Messenger of Allah prostrated himself, if a lamb wanted to pass between his arms, it could pass.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، - قَالَ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، - عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الأَصَمِّ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، يَزِيدَ بْنِ الأَصَمِّ عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ إِذَا سَجَدَ لَوْ شَاءَتْ بَهْمَةٌ أَنْ تَمُرَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ لَمَرَّتْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the humility and submission of the Prophet Muhammad's prayer. It is said that when he prostrated himself, a lamb could pass between his arms. This shows how low he was in his prayer, submitting himself to Allah with utmost humility and reverence. He was so devoted to Allah that nothing else mattered while he prayed; not even something as small as a lamb passing through his arms would distract him from worshipping God. This hadith teaches us about the importance of humbling ourselves before God in our prayers, and how we should strive for complete submission to Him during our worship.
