اَلْحُسَيْنُ عَنِ اَلنَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ مَوْضِعِ جَبْهَةِ اَلسَّاجِدِ أَ يَكُونُ أَرْفَعَ مِنْ مَقَامِهِ فَقَالَ« لاَ وَ لَكِنْ لِيَكُنْ مُسْتَوِياً»
Al-Husayn, from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd, from Abdullah ibn Sinan, who said:
I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام about the place of the forehead of the one prostrating, can it be higher than the place where he stands? Imam عليه السلام said: “No, but it should be level.”
