حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، أَنَّ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ

حَدَّثَهُمْ قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يَرْفَعُونَ أَبْصَارَهُمْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ». فَاشْتَدَّ قَوْلُهُ فِي ذَلِكَ حَتَّى قَالَ: «لَيَنْتَهُنَّ عَنْ ذَلِكَ أَوْ لَتُخْطَفَنَّ أَبْصَارُهُمْ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “What is wrong with those people who look towards the sky during the prayer?” His talk grew stern while delivering this speech and he said, “They should stop (looking towards the sky during the prayer); otherwise their eyesight would be taken away.”

আনাস ইবনু মালিক (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ লোকদের কী হলো যে, তারা সালাতে আকাশের দিকে চোখ তুলে তাকায়? এ ব্যাপারে তিনি কঠোর বক্তব্য রাখলেন; এমনকি তিনি বললেনঃ যেন তারা অবশ্যই এ হতে বিরত থাকে, অন্যথায় অবশ্যই তাদের দৃষ্টিশক্তি কেড়ে নেয়া হবে।

لوگوں کا کیا حال ہے جو نماز میں اپنی نظریں آسمان کی طرف اٹھاتے ہیں۔ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اس سے نہایت سختی سے روکا۔ یہاں تک آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ لوگ اس حرکت سے باز آ جائیں ورنہ ان کی بینائی اچک لی جائے گی۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Ali bin 'Abdullah] berkata, telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Yahya bin Sa'id] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibnu Abu 'Arubah] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Qatadah] bahwa [Anas bin Malik] ia menceritakan kepada mereka, ia berkata, "Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Kenapa orang-orang mengarahkan pandangan mereka ke langit ketika mereka sedang shalat?

Sahih al-Bukhari 750, Book 10, Call to Prayers (Adhaan), Hadith 144. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) warned those who raise their eyes to the sky during prayer, whether during supplication or other times. His rebuke became more severe, and he (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) threatened that those who do so might have their eyesight snatched away swiftly, to the point that they would not even realize it until they had lost the blessing of sight.

What it teaches

  • The excellence of the Prophet's approach in making Da‘wah and his clarification of the truth, as he did not expose the person who was in error since the goal was to clarify the truth, which had been achieved, and because he concealed the one upon error and made the message more likely to be accepted.
  • A firm prohibition and a stern warning for those who raise their sights to the sky during prayer.
  • In ‘Awn Al-Ma‘būd, he said: The reason for this is that raising one’s eyes to the sky distracts him from the proper direction of the Qiblah, causing one to turn away from it and from the correct posture of the prayer.
  • Raising the eyes contradicts the humility and focus required in prayer.
  • The great significance of prayer, and that the one praying must observe complete reverence and proper conduct with Allah Almighty.
