Proof that prostrating other then allah is not allowed
1. 1) It is Narrated by Anas (May Allah be Pleased with him) that the
Prophet Peace be upon him said:رشبل دجسي نأ رشبل حلصي ال
"It is not appropriate for a human being to bow to another." Narrated by
Ahmad, 3/158; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb,
1936, 1937; Irwa' al-Ghaleel, 3/158.
2) Narrated Qays ibn Sa'd: I went to al-Hirah and saw them (the people)
prostrating themselves before a satrap of theirs, so I said: The Apostle
of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) has most right to have prostration made
before him. When I came to the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him), I said: I
went to al-Hirah and saw themprostrating themselves before a satrap of
theirs, but you have most right, Apostle of Allah, to have
(people)prostrating themselves before you. He said: Tell me , if you were
to pass my grave, would you prostrate yourself before it? I said: No. He
then said: Do not do so. ...(Abu Dawood Book #11, Hadith #2135)
3) It is narrated by Aishah {May Allah have mercy on Her}: The Prophet
{Peace be upon Him} was sitting with a group of Muhajirin and Ansar. A
camel came walking all the way to the Prophet {Peace be upon Him} and
prostrated before him. Upon observing this spectacle, his Companions
said: "O Allah's Messenger {Peace be upon Him}! The animals and trees
prostrate before you! And as long as they do it, we are more rightful in
doing this to you (i.e. to prostrate before you)." The Prophet {Peace be
upon Him} answered: "You must worship your Lord and pay due respect to
your brothers." (Musnad Ahmad).(copied from taqwiyat ul eeman)
4) Narrated by Abdullh bin Awfi ra that Muadh bin Jabal RA came from Sham
and he bowed in front of Prophet Peace be upon him, Prophet Peace be upon
him said, What is this Muadh? He replied i went to sham and saw them (the
people) prostrating to their Priests and Leaders, and i liked in my heart
that we prostrate for you, Prophet Peace Be Upon Him said: Do Not Do So
[Ibn e Majah: 1853, and Ibn e Hibban Authenticated in (Al Mwarid):129 and
Hakim Authenticated in Mustadrak 4/172].
5) Narrated by Jabir RA ".... We were travelling with the Prophet (Peace
be upon him) when suddenly a camel came near "and prostrated to the
Prophet (Peace be upon him)" The Prophet (Peace be upon him) asked: Who
is the owner of this camel? At this some youngsters from Ansaar said that
it belongs to them. The Prophet asked them: What have you done with it?
They replied: We have been putting load (of water) on it since the past
20 years, now when he has become old and gathered excessive mass on
itself so we made up our minds to slaughter him and distribute the meat
amongst our friends. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) asked: Would you
sell it to me? They replied: Ah! It is yours O dear Prophet (salallaho
alaihi wasalam). The Prophet said, keep it but take good care of it until
natural death reaches it.The Sahaba asked: O Prophet (Peace be upon him)
we are more deserving of prostrating to you than the animals. The Prophet
(Peace be upon him) replied: It is not allowed for anyone. Sunan Darami

6) And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If
I were to command anyone to prostrate to anyone other than Allaah, I
would have commanded women to prostrate to their husbands. By the One in
2. Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, no woman can fulfil her duty towards
Allaah until she fulfils her duty towards her husband. If he asks her
(for intimacy) even if she is on her camel saddle, she should not
refuse.”

Ibn Maajah.
So postration is not allowed to even Muhammad SAW it's only for Allah.
