912. Jābir bin Samurah said: "Once the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ entered the Masjid and saw people praying with their hands pointing upwards to the skies. He said: 'People should stop raising their eyes to the skies'" — Musad-dad (one of the narrators) said: "during prayer" — "or else their eyesight will not return to them." (Sahih)

Arabic text

912 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، وَهَذَا حَدِيثُهُ وَهُوَ أَتَمُّ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، عَنْ تَمِيمِ بْنِ طَرَفَةَ الطَّائِيِّ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ - قَالَ عُثْمَانُ: - قَالَ: دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، الْمَسْجِدَ، فَرَأَى فِيهِ نَاسًا يُصَلُّونَ رَافِعِي أَيْدِيهِمْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا، فَقَالَ: " لَيَنْتَهِيَنَّ رِجَالٌ يَشْخَصُونَ أَبْصَارَهُمْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ - قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ فِي الصَّلَاةِ: - أَوْلَا تَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِمْ أَبْصَارُهُمْ "
