Musnad Ahmad 2933

Translation

✧ A man came to Ibn Abbas and said: “Your client, when he prostrates, places his forehead, forearms, and chest on the ground.” Ibn Abbas said to him: “What makes you do what you do?” He said: “Humility.” He said: “That is the crouching of a dog. I saw the Prophet ﷺ when he prostrated, the whiteness of his armpits could be seen.”
