Al-Kāfi|Volume 3|Book 4|Chapter 28
6ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِإِسْنَادٍ لَهُ قَالَ سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) عَمَّنْ بِجَبْهَتِهِ عِلَّةٌ لاَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى السُّجُودِ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ يَضَعُ ذَقَنَهُ عَلَى الأرْضِ إِنَّ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ يَخِرُّونَ لِلأذْقانِ سُجَّداً.
6. Ahmad ibn Muhammad from through the chain of his narrators has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, was asked about the case of one on whose forehead there is something because of which he is not able to perform Sajdah (prostration) on it. He (the Imam) said, ‘He places his chin on the ground; Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has said, “They fall down on their chins prostrating.’”” (17:107)
