What is the Meaning of Prostrating like a Dog?

Question:

What is the meaning of prostrating upon seven (in sujood) like a dog?

Answer:

The meaning is that one lays their forearms flat on the ground (while he is prostrating in the prayer). So placing his forearms flat on the ground (in sujood) is the meaning of resembling a dog.

And Allah knows best.
