Narrated Jabir (RA): The saying of the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) to a sick person who prayed on a cushion: The Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) threw it away and said, "Pray on the ground, if you are able to do so; otherwise, pray by gesturing signs and make your prostration lower than your bowing." [al-Baihaqi reported it through a strong chain of narrators, but Abu Hatim regarded it as Mauquf (saying of a Companion)] .
