اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ بَحْرٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ حَدِّ اَلسُّجُودِ قَالَ« مَا بَيْنَ قُصَاصِ اَلشَّعْرِ إِلَى مَوْضِعِ اَلْحَاجِبِ مَا وَضَعْتَ مِنْهُ أَجْزَأَكَ»
Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id, from Abdullah ibn Bahr, from Ibn Udhaynah, from Zurarah, from Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said:
I asked Him عليه السلام about the limit of prostration. Imam عليه السلام said: “Whatever part is placed from the area between the hairline and the position of the eyebrows, it suffices you.”
