Mishkat al-Masabih #844
Prayer
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا سَجَدَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَا يَبْرُكْ كَمَا يبرك الْبَعِير وليضع يَدَيْهِ قَبْلَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَالنَّسَائِيُّ. وَالدَّارِمِيُّ قَالَ أَبُو سُلَيْمَانَ الْخَطَّابِيُّ: حَدِيثُ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ أَثْبَتُ مِنْ هَذَا وَقِيلَ: هَذَا مَنْسُوخ
Abu Huraira reported God’s Messenger as saying, “When one of you prostrates himself he must not kneel in the manner of a camel, but should put down his hands before his knees.”
Abu Dawud, Nasa’i and Darimi transmitted it. Abu Sulaiman al-Khattabi said that the tradition of Wa’il b. Hujr is better established than this. The view is expressed that this one is abrogated.
