Bayhaqi 5170 — A man standing in the back rows of the men to look

وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حمْشَاذَ الْعَدْلُ بِبَغْدَادَ، ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْقَاضِي، ثنا أَبُو عُمَرَ حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، ثنا نُوحُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ، فَذَكَرَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ. إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: " كَانَتْ تُصَلِّي خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ امْرَأَةٌ حَسْنَاءُ مِنْ أَحْسَنِ النَّاسِ، وَكَانَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ يَسْتَقْدِمُ فِي الصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ لِئَلَّا يَرَاهَا، وَيَسْتَأْخِرُ بَعْضُهُمْ حَتَّى يَكُونَ فِي الصَّفِّ الْمُؤَخَّرِ، فَإِذَا رَكَعَ قَالَ: هَكَذَا، وَنَظَرَ مِنْ تَحْتِ إِبْطِهِ وَجَافَى يَدَهُ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فِي شَأْنِهَا {وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَأْخِرِينَ} [الحجر: ٢٤].
Nuh bin Qays (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated it with his chain (from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both), except that in it he said: Beautiful women used to pray behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Some people would go to the first rows so that they could not see them, and some would stand in the last row; when they bowed, they would look from under their armpits, keeping their arms away from their sides. So Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "We know those who go forward and We know those who stay behind." [Surah al-Hijr: 24]
