1096. It was narrated that Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī said: “My two eyes saw the traces of water and mud on the forehead and nose of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, from his praying Qiyām on the night of the twenty-first.” (Saḥīḥ) (This was narrated) in an abridged form.

Arabic text

1095 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ، قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ، عَنْ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْهَادِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ: «بَصُرَتْ عَيْنَايَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى جَبِينِهِ وَأَنْفِهِ أَثَرُ الْمَاءِ وَالطِّينِ مِنْ صُبْحِ لَيْلَةِ إِحْدَى وَعِشْرِينَ» مُخْتَصَرٌ

Commentary

It is essential that the forehead touches the ground because prostration itself signifies placing one's forehead on the ground, except if there is any excuse - or e.g. one has a tumour, pimple, backache, or headache preventing one from placing one's forehead on the earth.
