حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ سُمَيٍّ مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: " شَكَا أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَيْهِ مَشَقَّةَ السُّجُودِ عَلَيْهِمْ، إِذَا تَفَرَّجُوا، فَقَالَ: " اسْتَعِينُوا بِالرُّكَبِ " (٢)، ، قَالَ ابْنُ عَجْلَانَ: " وَذَلِكَ أَنْ يَضَعَ مِرْفَقَهُ عَلَى رُكْبَتِهِ إِذَا طَالَ السُّجُودُ وَأَعْيَا "،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that some of the noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) complained to the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) that when they are broad (in body), it becomes difficult for them to perform prostration. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: Take support from your knees. The narrator of the hadith, Ibn ‘Ajlan, says that when the prostration becomes prolonged and a person becomes tired, he should place his elbows on his knees.
