[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ visited a sick man from among his companions and I was with him. He entered upon him while he was praying on a stick, so he placed his forehead on the stick and he gestured to him. The sick man then threw away the stick and took a cushion. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Leave it and if you can, perform sujud on the ground, but if not, gesture with a nod and make your sujud lower than your ruku'."  

عَادَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ مَرِيضًا وَأَنَا مَعَهُ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى عُودٍ فَوَضَعَ جَبْهَتَهُ عَلَى الْعُودِ فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ فَطَرَحَ الْعُودَ وَأَخَذَ وِسَادَةً فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «دَعْهَا عَنْكَ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَإِلَّا فَأَوْمِئْ إِيمَاءً وَاجْعَلْ سُجُودَكَ أَخْفَضَ مِنْ رُكُوعِكِ»
