590. ‘Aishah narrated: "I asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about looking around during the Ṣalāt. He said: 'It is a portion which the Shaitān snatches during a man's prayer.'" (Sahih) Abū ‘Eisā said: This Hadīth is Hasan Gharib.

Arabic text

٥٩٠ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌صَالِحُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ ‌أَشْعَثَ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّعْثَاءِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ ‌مَسْرُوقٍ ، عَنْ ‌عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: «سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الِالْتِفَاتِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ: هُوَ اخْتِلَاسٌ يَخْتَلِسُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الرَّجُلِ» هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ.

Commentary

The spirit of prayer is humility and humbleness; the prayer will be as perfect and effective as much as the humility. Looking sideways, here and there, lessens the humility and humbleness.
