Shi'a and Sunni have narrated many hadiths indicating that the Prophet (s) used to put his forehead on the soil for prostration. According to hadiths, the Prophet (s) said that the earth had been made a purifier and a place of prostration for him. Based on a hadith mentioned in the book of Kanz al-'ummal, the Prophet (s) forbade a person who prayed on the carpet (prostrated on the carpet) from doing so and removed the carpet. 'Abd Allah b. 'Umar, the son of the second Caliph, has narrated that he went to the mosque for morning prayer in a rainy night. [While he was there, he saw] a person picked a suitable stone for prayer, spread a cloth and placed the stone on it and prayed. The Prophet (s) saw him and considered his action beautiful and good. | Shi'a and Sunni have narrated many hadiths indicating that the Prophet (s) used to put his forehead on the soil for prostration.
