How does one who prays lying down indicate the bowing and prostration?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : If he is lying down.

Answer : In the case of combining prayers, he indicates the bowing and prostration, but how is the indication? Is it indicating with the head toward the ground, such that it is like turning one’s head, or indicating with the head toward the chest? Do you understand now? He is on his side; does he indicate like this, meaning toward the ground? Or does he indicate like this, toward the chest? It appears that it is toward the chest, because indicating toward the ground involves a kind of turning, a kind of turning away from the qiblah, unlike indicating toward the chest, where the direction remains toward the qiblah. So he indicates while lying down toward his chest, meaning he indicates slightly for the bowing and indicates more for the prostration.
