Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended
عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ عَنِ اِبْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ أَضَعُ وَجْهِي لِلسُّجُودِ فَيَقَعُ وَجْهِي عَلَى حَجَرٍ أَوْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ مُرْتَفِعٍ أُحَوِّلُ وَجْهِي إِلَى مَكَانٍ مُسْتَوٍ قَالَ« نَعَمْ جُرَّ وَجْهَكَ عَلَى اَلْأَرْضِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تَرْفَعَهُ»
From him, from Ahmad from his father from Abdullah ibn Al-Mughira from Ibn Muskan from Husayn ibn Hammad from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, who said:
I said to Imam عليه السلام: “I lower my face for prostration, and my face falls upon a stone or something elevated, should I move my face to a level place?” Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes, drag your face upon the ground without lifting it."
