It is narrated from Hazrat Nafi that when Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) performed prostration, he would place his hands on the same thing upon which he prostrated. Hazrat Nafi said that on a very cold day, I saw Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) take his hands out from his cloak and place them on the stony ground.

It is narrated from Nafi‘ that Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) used to say: Whoever places his forehead on the ground should also place his hands on the ground, then when he raises his face, he should also raise his hands, because the hands also perform prostration just as the face performs prostration.
