"I said to Al-Bara bin Azib: 'Where would the Prophet place his face when he prostrated?' He said: 'Between his hands.'"

قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ وَأَبِي حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ الْبَرَاءِ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ وَهُوَ الَّذِي اخْتَارَهُ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنْ تَكُونَ يَدَاهُ قَرِيبًا مِنْ أُذُنَيْهِ
machine translationHe said: On this topic there are narrations from Wā'il b. Ḥujr and Abū Ḥumayd. Abū ʿĪsā said: The hadith of al-Barā' is a good, sound, and gharīb hadith (ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ gharīb), and it is what some of the people of knowledge preferred: that his hands be close to his ears.
