15. God hath granted you leave to prostrate yourselves on any surface that is clean, for We have removed in this regard the limitation that had been laid down in the Book # 10 |

The requirements of prayer in previous Dispensations have
often included prostration. In the Arabic Bayán the Báb
called upon the believers to lay their foreheads on surfaces of
crystal when prostrating. Similarly, in Islám, certain
restrictions are imposed with regard to the surface on which
Muslims are permitted to prostrate. Bahá’u’lláh abrogates
such restrictions and simply specifies “any surface that is
clean”.
