hadith 4250
Imam Ali (AS) said, The physical prostration is putting the foreheads on the earth and placing the palms and knees on the ground along with the toes of the feet, with complete submissiveness of the heart and sincerity of intention.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : اَلسُّجُودُ الجِسْماني: هُوَ وَضْعُ عَتائِقِ الوُجُوهِ عَلَى التُّرابِ وَ اسْتِقْبالُ الأرْضِ بِالراحَتَينِ وَ الكَفَّيْنِ (وَ الرُّكْبَتَيْنِ) وَ أطْرافِ القَدَمَيْنِ مَعَ خُشُوعِ القَلْبِ وَ إخْلاصِ النّيَّةِ

hadith 4251
Imam Ali (AS) said, The spiritual [aspect of] prostration is emptying the heart of [love for] that which perishes, proceeding with firm resolution in endeavouring towards the everlasting, removing pride and fanaticism, cutting off worldly ties and adorning oneself with the etiquettes of the Prophet.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : وَالسُّجُودُ النَّفْساني: فَراغُ القَلْبِ مِنَ الفانياتِ وَ الإقْبالُ بِكُنْهِ الهِمَّةِ عَلَى الباقياتِ وَ خَلْعُ الكِبْرِ وَ الحَمِيَّةِ وَ قَطْعُ العَلائِقِ الدُّنْيَويَّةِ وَ التَّحَلّي بِالخَلائِقِ النَبَويَّةِ
