What Can and Cannot Be Used for Prostration

831. hadíth

وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ يَاسِرٍ اَلْخَادِمِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَرَّ بِي أَبُو اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ أَنَا أُصَلِّي عَلَى اَلطَّبَرِيِّ وَ قَدْ أَلْقَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ شَيْئاً فَقَالَ لِي «مَا لَكَ لاَ تَسْجُدُ عَلَيْهِ أَ لَيْسَ هُوَ مِنْ نَبَاتِ اَلْأَرْضِ.

It was narrated from the Yāsir al-Khadim that He said: "Abu al-Hasan (a.s) passed by me while I was praying on a piece of ṭabarī (a mat) upon which I had placed something. Imam (a.s) said to me: 'Why do you not prostrate on it? Is it not from what the earth produces?'"
