Sunan Ibn Majah 1043 (Book 5, Hadith 241) #30395
Looking Up During Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) warned against looking up to the heavens during prayer.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'Do not lift your gaze to the heavens lest your sight be snatched away," meaning during prayer.
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَرْفَعُوا أَبْصَارَكُمْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ أَنْ تَلْتَمِعَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ يَعْنِي فِي الصَّلاَةِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Do not lift your gaze to the heavens during prayer

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us that when we are praying, it is important to keep our eyes focused on the ground and not look up at the sky. This is because if we do, our sight may be taken away from us. It is important to remember this lesson when we are in prayer so that we can stay focused and connected with Allah. We should also remember that Allah knows what is in our hearts and minds even if we don't look up at Him directly. Therefore, it's important for us to stay humble and devoted during prayer so that Allah will accept our prayers.
