[Machine] "He has indeed ruined his face. By Allah, what a sky Allah has created! I have prayed on my face for eighty years, and prostration has not left a mark between my eyes."  

الطبراني:٦٦٨٥ – حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُزَيْقِ بْنِ جَامِعٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ ثنا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ ثنا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى السَّيْنَائِيُّ عَنِ الْجُعَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ إِذْ جَاءَهُ الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ وَفِي وَجْهِهِ أَثَرُ السُّجُودِ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ قَالَ «مَنْ هَذَا؟» قِيلَ الزُّبَيْرُ قَالَ

«لَقَدْ أَفْسَدَ هَذَا وَجْهَهُ أَمَا وَاللهِ مَا هِيَ السِّيمَاءُ الَّتِي سَمَّاهَا اللهُ وَلَقَدْ صَلَّيْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي ثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً مَا أَثَّرَ السُّجُودُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيَّ»

[Machine] He has indeed spoiled his reputation, by Allah it is not just a mark on the face, and by Allah I have prayed on my face many times and prostration did not leave any effect on my face.  

البيهقي:٣٥٥٩ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ بْنُ أَبِي الْمَعْرُوفِ الْفَقِيهُ أنبأ أَبُو سَهْلٍ بِشْرُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ بِشْرٍ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْقَطَّانُ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ الْخُرَاسَانِيُّ ثنا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ هُوَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ إِذْ جَاءَهُ الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ فَقَالَ

قَدْ أَفْسَدَ وَجْهَهُ وَاللهِ مَا هِيَ سِيمَاءُ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ صَلَّيْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي مُذْ كَذَا وَكَذَا مَا أَثَّرَ السُّجُودُ فِي وَجْهِي شَيْئًا
