Prohibition of raising one's Eyes towards the sky during As-Salat (The Prayer)

Hadith 1754

Anas bin Malik radiyallahu anhu

said: The Messenger of Allah Sallalahu aleihi wa

said,

"How is it that some people raise their eyes towards the sky during As-Salat (the prayer)?''

He Sallalahu aleihi wa

stressed (this point) and added,

"People must refrain from raising their eyes towards heaven in Salat (prayer), or else their sights will certainly be snatched away.'' [Al-Bukhari].

Commentary: Looking towards the sky during prayer disturbs the concentration in Salat and there is a stern warning against this bad habit. One can, however, do so after Salat, i.e., during one's supplications.
