Bayhaqi 3540 — The gaze does not go beyond the place of prostration

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَهْلٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمِهْرَانِيُّ وَأَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ حَامِدُ بْنُ الرَّفَّاءِ الْهَرَوِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، ثنا سَعِيدٌ أَبُو زَيْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، فَذَكَرَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " كَانَ يَلْتَفِتُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ خَاشِعُونَ} [المؤمنون: ١] فَنَكَّسَ رَأْسَهُ " وَوَصَفَ لَنَا أَبُو زَيْدٍ.
Through another chain he mentioned this hadith, except that in it is: He (peace and blessings be upon him) used to look around in prayer; when this noble verse, "Successful indeed are the believers, those who humble themselves in their prayers" [Surah al-Mu'minun: 1-2], was revealed, he lowered his head. The narrator says: Abu Zayd (may Allah have mercy on him) showed us by lowering his head.
