[1/-] al-Faqih: Via his chain to Umar b. Udhayna from Zurara from Abi Ja`far عÙÙ٠اÙسÙاÙ, he (Zurara) said: I asked him about the sick person â how does he prostrate?
He said: on a small palm-leaf mat or on a hand-held fan or on a tooth-stick which is raised to him [made to touch his forehead], and it is better than gesturing [without the forehead touching anything], verily the one who dislikes prostrating on the hand-held fan dislikes it because of the idols which used to be worshiped apart from Allah, and we never worship anything besides Allah ever â so prostrate on the fan and on the tooth-stick and on a piece of wood.
