Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الظُّهْرَ فَآخُذُ قَبْضَةً مِنْ حَصًى فِي كَفِّي أُبَرِّدُهُ ثُمَّ أُحَوِّلُهُ فِي كَفِّي الآخَرِ فَإِذَا سَجَدْتُ وَضَعْتُهُ لِجَبْهَتِي ‏.‏

Translation

Qutaibah informed us: ʿAbbad narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn ʿAmr, from Saʿid ibn al-Harith, from Jabir ibn ʿAbdullah, who said: We used to pray Zuhr with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). I would take a handful of pebbles in my palm to cool them, then transfer them to my other palm. When I prostrated, I would place them down and rest my forehead on them.
