فَإِذَا اسْتَوَى قَائِمًا كَبَّرَ، وَسَجَدَ، وَاعْتَمَدَ بِيَدَيْهِ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ، وَوَضَعَ وَجْهَهُ بَيْنَ كَفَّيْهِ، وَسَجَدَ عَلَى أَنْفِهِ وَجَبْهَتِهِ. فَإِنِ اقْتَصَرَ عَلَى أَحَدِهِمَا: جَازَ عِنْدَ أَبِي حَنِيفَةَ. وَقَالَا: لَا يَجُوزُ الِاقْتِصَارُ عَلَى الْأَنْفِ إِلَّا مِنْ عُذْرٍ.
Meaning: Once upright, say takbir and prostrate, resting the hands on the ground, placing the face between the palms, and prostrating on both the nose and forehead. Abu Hanifah permits sufficiency of either in the reported ruling; the two companions do not permit the nose alone without excuse.

The dual qala refers to Abu Yusuf and Muhammad.
