Pray as you have seen me pray - Sujud : 1st knees or palms?

**AbdulQahhar** · 03-06-2007, 01:48 AM

going down to make sujud - are we supposed to put first knees on the ground or palms? Never ever in my life I have placed my palms first, but I've seen many today placing first their palms.
Does anyone know about the rulling for this?

PS I'd like to hear all opinions, not only Hanafi and other Madhhabi, but also non-Madhhabi. I think non-Madhhabi first place their palms, which I find quite unnatural (as a body movement I mean) and also much harder to do. But nevermind how I feel about this - it's the rulling which overrides it.

That what I also believe. I really find it strange that some people fall down with their palms first?!

I actually have seen some people reporting Ahadith where a man is not supposed to place his palms first, like a camel does. (like we shouldn't be like a camel)
On the other hand, before that I saw Ahadith saying quite the opposite - that we should do it like a camel does - first palms. I'm sorry I'm not able to find these Ahadith now.

walaikum 'assalam

according to a narration of saheeh muslim one should not make sujud like camel who bent his front limbs first to sit. however there is a narration (in abu dawood i think) according to which palms should be placed first. shah waliullah rahimahu Allah gave the tatbeeq that first we should bend our legs then place our palms then place our knees to make sajdah. this is what i remeber. may Allah forgive me.

wassalam
