question #3 Sahih Muslim 620, Book 5, Hadith 241 : How does the practice of spreading a cloth during prostration reflect the flexibility in Islamic prayer rituals?

We used to say (the noonprayer) with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in the intense heat, but when someone amongst us found it hard to place his forehead on the ground, he spread his cloth and prostrated on it.
