Narrated Jabir (RA):

The saying of the Prophet (ﷺ) to a sick person who prayed on a cushion: The Prophet (ﷺ) threw it away and said, "Pray on the ground, if you are able to do so; otherwise, pray by gesturing signs and make your prostration lower than your bowing." [al-Baihaqi reported it through a strong chain of narrators, but Abu Hatim regarded it as Mauquf (saying of a Companion)].

وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- { أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-قَالَ لِمَرِيضٍ ‏- صَلَّى عَلَى وِسَادَةٍ , فَرَمَى بِهَا ‏- وَقَالَ : " صَلِّ عَلَى اَلْأَرْضِ إِنْ اِسْتَطَعْتَ , وَإِلَّا فَأَوْمِئْ إِيمَاءً , وَاجْعَلْ سُجُودَكَ أَخْفَضَ مِنْ رُكُوعِكَ } رَوَاهُ اَلْبَيْهَقِيُّ بِسَنَدٍ قَوِيٍّ وَلَكِنْ صَحَّحَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ وَقْفَهُ .‏ [1]‏
