ذِكْرُ الْإِبَاحَةِ لِلْمَرْءِ بَسْطَ ثَوْبِهِ لِلسُّجُودِ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ شِدَّةِ الْحَرِّ

we used to pray along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in intense heat. When any of us could not rest his face on bare ground while prostrating due to intense heat he spread his cloth and would prostrate on it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 660)   

ابن حبّان:٢٣٥٤أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا غَالِبٌ الْقَطَّانُ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمُزَنِيِّ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

«كُنَّا إِذَا صَلَّيْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَحَدُنَا أَنْ يُمَكِّنَ جَبْهَتَهُ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ بَسَطَ ثَوْبَهُ فَسَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ»
