Extending the back in prostration
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person extends his back when he prostrates, and I pointed that out to him, he said that it was reported that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to extend his back by about two arms' lengths, and leave a space of one arm's length between himself and his garment.
Answer:
Tell him: "Bring it, bring it." This will show you where it is from, which book and which source it is from. As for saying, "It was reported from the Messenger," and that is all, no, let him show it to you, and we will see if he can produce it for us. Yes.
