[6] \n Performing of the \u2018Sajdah\u2019 (Hadith on Salat continues) \n The Imam -asws did not place any other part of his body on any other part thereof.

He -asws performed sajdah on eight parts of his -asws limbs: \n \n his palms, (2) \n knees, (2) \n big toes of his feet, (2) \n his forehead and (1) \n his nose. (1) \n \n The Imam -asws said: ‘Placing seven parts of these limbs on the ground is obligatory during sajdah but one of them (the nose) is not obligatory.
