Sunan Ibn Majah 1044 (Book 5, Hadith 242) #30396
Looking Up During Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) warned his companions against looking up to the heavens during prayer, as it is disrespectful and could lead to Allah taking away their sight.

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "The Messenger of Allah led his Companions in prayer one day. When he had finished prayer he turned to face the people and said: 'What is wrong with some people that they lift their gaze to the heavens?’ He spoke severely concerning that: 'They should certainly abstain from that or Allah will snatch away their sight.’"
حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يَوْمًا بِأَصْحَابِهِ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلاَةَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يَرْفَعُونَ أَبْصَارَهُمْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ حَتَّى اشْتَدَّ قَوْلُهُ فِي ذَلِكَ ‏"‏ لَيَنْتَهُنَّ عَنْ ذَلِكَ أَوْ لَيَخْطَفَنَّ اللَّهُ أَبْصَارَهُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was leading his companions in prayer one day when he noticed some of them lifting their gaze to the heavens. He warned them against this action, saying that it was disrespectful and that Allah could take away their sight if they continued doing so. This hadith teaches us the importance of respecting Allah during prayer by keeping our eyes focused on the ground and not looking around or up at the sky. It also reminds us of how powerful Allah is, as He can take away something as precious as our sight if we do not obey His commands. We should always strive to be mindful of Him in all aspects of our lives, including when we are praying.
