Caution: Translations of Quran and Ḥadīth may lead to possible misapplications and misinterpretations. This site is intended for students of sacred knowledge that are proficient in comprehending classical Arabic and have a strong foundation in Islamic sciences. Also note that religious injunctions rely on several aspects beyond what one may glean through reading individual aḥādīth.
quran:67:22

Then is one who walks fallen on his face better guided or one who walks erect on a straight path?  

Is he who walks cast down, fallen, on his face more rightly guided, or he who walks upright on a straight path? (the predicate of the second man, ‘who’, has been omitted, but is indicated by the predicate of the first, namely, ahdā, ‘more rightly guided’; the similitude refers to the believer and the disbeliever and to which of the two is more rightly guided).
القرآن:٦٧:٢٢

أَفَمَنْ يَمْشِي مُكِبًّا عَلَىٰ وَجْهِهِ أَهْدَىٰ أَمَّنْ يَمْشِي سَوِيًّا عَلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ  

{أفمن يمشي مُكِبا} واقعا {على وجهه أهدى أمَّن يمشي سويا} معتدلا {على صراط} طريق {مستقيم} وخبر مَن الثانية محذوف دل عليه خبر الأولى، أي أهدى، والمثل في المؤمن والكافر أيهما على هدى.
