Jami at-Tirmidhi 273 — Prostrating on Seven Bones

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 273

This Hadith from Ibn Abbas says the Prophet was ordered to prostrate on seven bones and not to gather his hair or his garment. The main topic is the correct form of sujud. The Hadith teaches that prostration has a bodily structure, and the worshipper should not interfere with the natural fall of hair or clothing during it. The text does not give a long explanation, so we keep the meaning close: sujud should be done on the seven bones mentioned in related wording, and the worshipper should avoid gathering hair or garments. This Hadith is useful for people searching about seven bones in sujud and whether clothes or hair should be held up during prayer.
