Mishkat al-Masabih 902

‘Abd ar-Rahman b. Shibl said that God’s Messenger forbade a crow’s peck,* extending the forearms like a wild animal, and imitating a camel by a man making one spot his regular place in the mosque. * An exaggerated way of speaking of a very short prostration. Abu Dawud, Nasa’i and Darimi transmitted it.

عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ شِبْلٍ قَالَ: نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَن نَقْرَةِ الْغُرَابِ وَافْتِرَاشِ السَّبُعِ وَأَنْ يُوَطِّنَ الرَّجُلُ الْمَكَانَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ كَمَا يُوَطِّنُ الْبَعِيرُ. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد وَالنَّسَائِيّ والدارمي
