751. Narrated ‘Aīshah رضي الله عنها: I asked Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ about looking hither and thither in Aṣ-Ṣalāt (the prayer). He replied, “It is a way of stealing by which Satan takes away (a portion) from the Ṣalāt (prayer) of a person.”

Arabic text

751 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَشْعَثُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الِالْتِفَاتِ فِي الصَّلاَةِ؟ فَقَالَ: «هُوَ اخْتِلاَسٌ يَخْتَلِسُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنْ صَلاَةِ العَبْدِ»
