Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
How is it that
some people raise their eyes towards the sky during As-Salat (the prayer)?
'' He 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.
