Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended
عَنْهُ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ بُكَيْرٍ وَ ثَعْلَبَةَ عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «اَلْجَبْهَةُ إِلَى اَلْأَنْفِ أَيُّ ذَلِكَ أَصَبْتَ بِهِ اَلْأَرْضَ فِي اَلسُّجُودِ أَجْزَأَكَ وَ اَلسُّجُودُ عَلَيْهِ كُلِّهِ أَفْضَلُ»
From him, from Musa ibn Umar, from Al-Hasan ibn Faddal, from Ibn Bukayr and Tha'labah, from Burayd:
Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: "The forehead to the nose, whichever of them you place upon the ground in prostration, it suffices you, and prostrating with all of it (the entire forehead and nose) is better."
