[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanding to maintain moderation in prostration, and that a man should not prostrate while extending his arms.  

أحمد:١٤٦٠٩حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ جَابِرًا عَنِ السُّجُودِ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْمُرُ أَنْ يُعْتَدَلَ فِي السُّجُودِ وَلَا يَسْجُدَ الرَّجُلُ وَهُوَ بَاسِطٌ ذِرَاعَيْهِ

“Be balanced in prostration; none of you should prostrate with his arms spread out like a dog.”  

ابن ماجة:٨٩٢حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ اعْتَدِلُوا فِي السُّجُودِ وَلاَ يَسْجُدْ أَحَدُكُمْ وَهُوَ بَاسِطٌ ذِرَاعَيْهِ كَالْكَلْبِ
