الترجمة الإنجليزية
Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz ibn Qatadah informed us, Abu al-Mansur al-Abbas ibn al-Fadl al-Dabbi informed us, Ahmad ibn Najdah narrated to us, Sa'id ibn Mansur narrated to us, Isma'il ibn Ibrahim narrated to us from Ayyub from Muhammad who said: I was told that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) used to raise his gaze to the sky when he prayed. Then a verse was revealed — if it was not 'Those who are humble in their prayers' [al-Mu'minun 2], then I do not know which verse it was. Muhammad ibn Sirin used to prefer that his gaze not go beyond his prayer place. This is the preserved version in mursal form, and it has also been narrated from Isma'il ibn Ibrahim — i.e., Ibn Ulayyah — in connected form.
