English translation

1098. It was narrated from Ibn ʿAbbâs that the Prophet ﷺ said: "I have been commanded to prostrate on seven bones: on the forehead" – and he pointed with his hand – "on the nose, the hands, the knees and the ends of the feet." (Sahih)

Arabic text

1097 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ النَّسَائِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعَلَّى بْنُ أَسَدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَسْجُدَ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَعْظُمٍ: عَلَى الْجَبْهَةِ، وَأَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى الْأَنْفِ، وَالْيَدَيْنِ وَالرُّكْبَتَيْنِ، وَأَطْرَافِ الْقَدَمَيْنِ "

Commentary

In this Hadīth occurs the term 'Azm, which denotes "bone." But what is meant is merely a limb. That being said, each limb - such as a hand or a foot - consists of several bones and joints.
