It is narrated from Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) who said: "When the Prophet (peace be upon him) prostrated, he would keep his arms away from his sides, so much so that if a lamb wanted to pass under his arms, it could." [Narrated by Abu Dawud] A similar narration is in Muslim: "When the Prophet (peace be upon him) prostrated, if a lamb wanted to pass between his arms, it could.")
