Hadith 1338
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنَّهُ، قَالَ: "مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يَرْفَعُونَ أَبْصَارَهُمْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ ؟"فَاشْتَدَّ قَوْلُهُ فِي ذَلِكَ حَتَّى قَالَ: "لَتَنْتَهُنَّ عَنْ ذَلِكَ أَوْ لَيَخْطَفَنَّ اللَّهُ أَبْصَارَكُمْ".
Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What is the matter with people who raise their eyes towards the sky during prayer?" He (peace be upon him) forbade them very sternly until he (peace be upon him) said: "You must stop this action, or else Allah, the Exalted, will take away your sight."
