مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ بِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَمَّنْ بِجَبْهَتِهِ عِلَّةٌ لاَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى اَلسُّجُودِ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ« يَضَعُ ذَقَنَهُ عَلَى اَلْأَرْضِ إِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ« يَخِرُّونَ لِلْأَذْقٰانِ سُجَّداً»
Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub, from Ali ibn Muhammad, by his chain of narration, who said:
Abu Abdillah عليه السلام was asked about someone who has an ailment on his forehead and is unable to prostrate upon it. Imam عليه السلام said: “He should place his chin on the ground, for Allah سبحانه وتعالى the Exalted says: ‘They fall down upon their chins in prostration’.” (Surah Isra 17:107)
