Is it true that the mark of prostration on a person's forehead indicates his righteousness?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. From the questioner's questions, the Honorable Shaykh says: Is there a report that the mark on a person's forehead from the effect of prostration is a sign of the pious and the righteous?

Answer:
It depends on the hearts and sincerity to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). A person does not intend for there to be a mark on his forehead; he does not intend this. But if something of this happens, it is a sign of good. Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) said in an authentic hadith that His Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) (peace and blessings be upon him)
Their mark is on their faces from the trace of prostrationسِيمَاهُمْ فِي وُجُوهِهِم مِّنْ أَثَرِ السُّجُودِ
[Al-Fath 48:29]
. So if a person does not intend this, but it appears on him without his intention, then this is a sign of good, and a good omen, praise be to Allah. Yes.
