The Book of Prayer
Narrated Jabir (RA):
The Prophet (ﷺ) visited a sick man and saw him praying on a cushion, he threw it away and said, "Pray on the ground, if you can, or else pray by gestures and make your prostration lower than your bowing." [al-Baihaqi reported it and Abu Hatim graded it Sahih (authentic) in Mawquf form (as a saying of a companion, i.e. Jabir)].
وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: { عَادَ اَلنَّبِيُّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-مَرِيضًا, فَرَآهُ يُصَلِّي عَلَى وِسَادَةٍ, فَرَمَى بِهَا, وَقَالَ: "صَلِّ عَلَى اَلْأَرْضِ إِنْ اِسْتَطَعْتَ, وَإِلَّا فَأَوْمِ إِيمَاءً, وَاجْعَلْ سُجُودَكَ أَخْفَضَ مِنْ رُكُوعِكَ" } رَوَاهُ اَلْبَيْهَقِيُّ.‏ وَصَحَّحَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ وَقْفَهُ.‏
