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

عَنْهُ عَنْ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ وَعَمَّارٍ اَلسَّابَاطِيِّ قَالَ:« مَا بَيْنَ قُصَاصِ اَلشَّعْرِ إِلَى طَرَفِ اَلْأَنْفِ مَسْجِدٌ أَيُّ ذَلِكَ أَصَبْتَ بِهِ اَلْأَرْضَ أَجْزَأَكَ»
From him, from Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Faddal, from Marwan ibn Muslim and Ammar Al-Sabati: (Imam عليه السلام) said: "The area between the hairline and the tip of the nose is a place of prostration; whichever part of that you place on the ground suffices you."
