Hadith ~ Raise eyes towards heaven

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Anas ibn Malik said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Why on earth do some people raise their eyes towards heaven during their prayer?' His words on this subject grew stronger until he finally said, 'They should stop doing it or their eyesight will be taken away.'" [al-Bukhari]
