1101. It was narrated that ‘Aīshah said: “I noticed the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was missing one night, and I found him when he was prostrating with his feet held upright, and he was saying; ‘Allāhumma, innī a’ūdhu biridāka min sakhaṭik, wa bimū’afatika min uqūbatik, wa bika minka lā uhsī thanā’an ‘alaika anta kamā athnaita ‘ala nafsiḥ (O Allāh, I seek refuge with Your pleasure from Your wrath, in Your forgiveness from Your punishment and in You from You. I cannot praise You enough, You are as You have praised Yourself.)”

Commentary
In the posture of prostration, the feet should remain erect (resting on the bottom of their toes, heels up) and the heels joined together. There should be no distance between them. As far as possible, the toes should be turned in such a way that their fronts point toward the Qiblah; the ones that could not be turned should be made to touch the ground. If small toes do not touch the ground, then there is no harm in that.
