English translation

913. Anas bin Mālik narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Why do people raise their eyes in the prayers." Then he became even more strict in this regard, and said: "They should stop doing so, or else their eyesight will be snatched away from them." (Sahih)

Arabic text

913 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، أَنَّ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، حَدَّثَهُمْ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يَرْفَعُونَ أَبْصَارَهُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ»، فَاشْتَدَّ قَوْلُهُ فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ: «لَيَنْتَهُنَّ عَنْ ذَلِكَ أَوْ لَتُخْطَفَنَّ أَبْصَارُهُمْ»
