Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended

عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلنَّهْدِيِّ عَنِ اِبْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلسُّجُودِ عَلَى اَلْأَرْضِ اَلْمُرْتَفِعَةِ فَقَالَ« إِذَا كَانَ مَوْضِعُ جَبْهَتِكَ مُرْتَفِعاً عَنْ مَوْضِعِ بَدَنِكَ قَدْرَ لَبِنَةٍ فَلاَ بَأْسَ»
From him, from Al-Nahdi from Ibn Abi Umayr from Abdullah ibn Sinan from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about prostrating upon elevated ground. Imam عليه السلام said: "If the place of your forehead is elevated above the place of your body by the height of a brick, then there is no harm."
