حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «اعْتَدِلُوا فِي السُّجُودِ، وَلَا يَبْسُطْ أَحَدُكُمْ ذِرَاعَيْهِ انْبِسَاطَ الْكَلْبِ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Be straight in the prostrations and none of you should put his forearms on the ground (in the prostration) like a dog.”

ہم سے محمد بن بشار نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے محمد بن جعفر نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا کہ ہم سے شعبہ نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا کہ میں نے قتادہ سے سنا، انہوں نے انس بن مالک رضی اللہ عنہ سے انہوں نے بیان کیا کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ سجدہ میں اعتدال کو ملحوظ رکھو اور اپنے بازو کتوں کی طرح نہ پھیلایا کرو۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Basysyar] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Ja'far] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Syu'bah] berkata, Aku mendengar [Qatadah] dari [Anas bin Malik] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, beliau bersabda: "Seimbanglah kalian salam sujud, dan janganlah salah seorang dari kalian membentangkan kedua sikunya sebagaimana anjing membentangkan tangannya

Enes İbn Mâlik (r.a.) Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in şöyle buyurduğunu nakletmiştir: "Secdeye vardığınızda vücûdunuzu serbest bırakın; ne iyice yayılın ne de büzülün. Hiçbiriniz secdede iken köpeğin yatışı gibi dirseklerini yere yapıştırmasın

Sahih al-Bukhari 822, Book 10, Call to Prayers (Adhaan), Hadith 216. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that moderation should be observed in prostration, in such a way that the one praying adopts a good posture in prostration, with his hands on the ground and his forearms lifted and kept away from his sides. This is because such a posture indicates the energy and eagerness required in prayer, and also because this good posture allows all the prostrating organs to have their share in worship.

He forbade spreading the forearms in prostration because it is evidence of laziness and boredom, and it also constitutes imitating the dog, which is an improper imitation.
