I saw the Prophet ﷺ on his Mount praying Nawafil by nodding his head, whatever direction he faced, but Messenger of Allah ﷺ never did the same in offering the compulsory prayers.
رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهْوَ عَلَى الرَّاحِلَةِ يُسَبِّحُ يُومِئُ بِرَأْسِهِ قِبَلَ أَىِّ وَجْهٍ تَوَجَّهَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ

[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ glorifying Allah and nodding his head while riding his camel, facing any direction he turned to. However, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not do that in the obligatory prayers.
