Hadith 916
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَّامٍ ، عَنْ زَيْدٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَلَّامٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي السَّلُولِيُّ هُوَ أَبُو كَبْشَةَ ، عَنْ سَهْلِ ابْنِ الْحَنْظَلِيَّةِ ، قَالَ : ثُوِّبَ بِالصَّلَاةِ ، يَعْنِي صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ ، فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ يَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى الشِّعْبِ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَكَانَ أَرْسَلَ فَارِسًا إِلَى الشِّعْبِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يَحْرُسُ .
Narrated Sahl ibn al-Hanzaliyyah: The iqamah for the morning prayer was pronounced and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began to offer prayer while he was looking at the mountain-pass. (Abu Dawud elaborated that the Prophet had sent a horseman to the mountain-pass at night in order to keep watch. )

This hadith, and other ahadith in which turning (during prayer) is prohibited, are reconciled in this way: that looking (to the side) without turning the neck is permissible in cases of extreme necessity; otherwise, it is prohibited.
