حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ عَنْ الْحَجَّاجِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ قَالَقُلْتُ لِلْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ أَيْنَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَضَعُ وَجْهَهُ إِذَا سَجَدَ فَقَالَ بَيْنَ كَفَّيْهِقَالَ وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ وَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ وَأَبِي حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ الْبَرَاءِ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ وَهُوَ الَّذِي اخْتَارَهُ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنْ تَكُونَ يَدَاهُ قَرِيبًا مِنْ أُذُنَيْهِ

Narrated to us [Qutaibah], he said: narrated to us [Hafsh bin Ghiyats] from [Al Hajjaj] from [Abu Ishaq], he said: "I asked [Al Barra bin 'Azib]: 'Where did the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, place his face when prostrating?' He answered, 'Between his palms.'" He said: "In this chapter there are also hadiths from Wa'il bin Hujr and Abu Humaid." Abu Isa said: "The hadith of Al Barra is hasan sahih gharib. And this is the choice of some scholars, that the hands should be close to the ears."
