Looking Up During Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) warned people against looking up to the sky during prayer, as it could lead to their sight being taken away.

Jabir b. Samurah said(this is the version of the narrator 'Uthman): The Messenger of Allah entered the mosque and saw there some people praying raising their hand towards the heaven. (This Is the common version: ) He said : People must stop raising their eyes to the heaven. The narrator Musaddad said: During prayer, otherwise their sight will be taken away.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، - وَهَذَا حَدِيثُهُ وَهُوَ أَتَمُّ - عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، عَنْ تَمِيمِ بْنِ طَرَفَةَ الطَّائِيِّ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، - قَالَ عُثْمَانُ - قَالَ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ الْمَسْجِدَ فَرَأَى فِيهِ نَاسًا يُصَلُّونَ رَافِعِي أَيْدِيهِمْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ - ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا - فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ لَيَنْتَهِيَنَّ رِجَالٌ يَشْخَصُونَ أَبْصَارَهُمْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ - قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ فِي الصَّلاَةِ - أَوْ لاَ تَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِمْ أَبْصَارُهُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us that we should not look up towards the sky while praying, as it can lead to our sight being taken away. This is a warning from Allah, and we must take it seriously. We must focus on our prayers and keep our eyes on the ground or in front of us so that we can concentrate better on what we are saying in prayer. This hadith also teaches us about humility; by keeping our eyes downcast during prayer, we are showing respect for Allah and His commands. It also reminds us of how important it is to be mindful of what we do during prayer so that our worship is accepted by Allah.
