271. Abū Iṣḥāq narrated: “I said to Al-Barā’ bin ‘Azīb: ‘Where would the Prophet ﷺ place his face when he prostrated?’ He said: ‘Between his hands.’” (Hasan) [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Wā’il [bin Hujr] and Abū Humaid. [Abū ‘Eisā said:] The Hadīth of Al-Barā’ is a Ḥasan [Ṣaḥīḥ] Gharīb Hadīth. It is the choice of some of the people of knowledge that the hands should be close to the ears.
٢٧١ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ ، عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِلْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ: «أَيْنَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَضَعُ وَجْهَهُ إِذَا سَجَدَ؟» فَقَالَ: بَيْنَ كَفَّيْهِ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ وَأَبِي حُمَيْدٍ. حَدِيثُ الْبَرَاءِ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ. وَهُوَ الَّذِي اخْتَارَهُ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ: أَنْ تَكُونَ يَدَاهُ قَرِيبًا مِنْ أُذُنَيْهِ.

Various ways of placing the hands are quoted in various Ahādīth, all of which are practicable; the most comprehensive way is that the part of the hand close to the wrist should be placed parallel to the shoulders and the rest of the hand (palm and fingers) parallel to the ears and face.
