حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ اللَّيْثِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ دَرَّاجٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ حُجَيْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا سَجَدَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَا يَفْتَرِشْ يَدَيْهِ افْتِرَاشَ الْكَلْبِ وَلْيَضُمَّ فَخِذَيْهِ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: when one of you prostrates himself, he should not stretch out his forearms (on the ground) like a dog and he should join both of his thighs.

আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ তোমাদের কেউ সিজদা করার সময় যেন স্বীয় দু’ হাত কুকুরের ন্যায় বিছিয়ে না রাখে এবং দু’ উরু যেন মিলিয়ে রাখে।[1] দুর্বল।

ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: جب تم میں سے کوئی سجدہ کرے تو اپنے دونوں ہاتھ کتے کی طرح نہ بچھائے اور چاہیئے کہ اپنی دونوں رانوں کو ملا کر رکھے ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdul Malik bin Syu'aib bin Al Laits] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibnu Wahb] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Laits] dari [Darraj] dari [Ibnu Hujairah] dari [Abu Hurairah] bahwa Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Apabila salah seorang dari kalian sujud, janganlah ia membentangkan kedua tangannya ke lantai sebagaimana seekor anjing, dan hendaklah ia meletakkan di kedua pahanya

Ebu Hureyre (r.a.)'den rivayet edildiğine göre, Nebi (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem) şöyle buyurmuştur: "Biriniz secdeye vardığı zaman köpeğin yayıldığı gibi yapmasın, uyluklarını birleştirsin." Diğer tahric: Tirmizî, salat; Nesaî, tatbîk; İbn Mace, ikame; Ahmed b. Hanbel, III

What it means

This Hadīth demonstrates the way of going down for prostration. It suggests that one should place his hands down before his knees. However, there are other Hadīths stating that one should place his knees down before his hands. So, both ways are valid, and the one who does this or that should not be subject to criticism.
