Does Ibn al-Jarud's Hadith, which describes the Prophet's — may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him — prostration with his forearms lifted from his sides, indicate the Sunnah of placing the hands before the knees in prostration?

The questioner mentioned a hadith narrated by Ibn al-Jarud and Ibn Hibban, authenticated by Al-A'zami and Al-Albani, which some scholars consider evidence for the permissibility of placing the hands before the knees when descending for prostration. Al-Albani holds that descending (howi) with the body falling while keeping the hands away from the sides is usually not possible except by placing the hands on the ground first. What Al-Albani mentioned is correct, as placing the hands first is easier for one who descends while keeping their hands away, but this is not obligatory, as the worshipper can place their knees first while still keeping their hands away.
