The Book of Prayer

Bulugh al-Maram #289

كتاب الصلاة

وَلِلتِّرْمِذِيِّ: عَنْ أَنَسٍ ‏- وَصَحَّحَهُ ‏- «إِيَّاكَ وَالِالْتِفَاتَ فِي اَلصَّلَاةِ, فَإِنَّهُ هَلَكَةٌ, فَإِنْ كَانَ فَلَا بُدَّ فَفِي اَلتَّطَوُّعِ»

at-Tirmidhi has reported and graded as Sahih (authentic) the narration of Anas (RA):

“Avoid looking around when you are engaged in prayer, for looking around is destruction. And if you must do it, do so in the voluntary prayers.”
