What Can and Cannot Be Used for Prostration

Hadith #12

وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بَجِيلٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ كُلَّمَا سَجَدَ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ أَخَذَ اَلْحَصَى مِنْ جَبْهَتِهِ فَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى اَلْأَرْضِ.

It was narrated from Ali ibn Bajil that He said: "I saw Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq , every time he prostrated and then raised his head, he would take the pebbles from his forehead and place them back on the ground."
