[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to raise his head to the sky when he prayed, and his eyes would move, looking here and there. Then Allah revealed: "Successful indeed are the believers, those who humble themselves in their prayers" [Surah Al-Mu'minun:2]. So, Ibn 'Awn lowered his head and placed it on the ground. This was narrated from Abu Zaid Sa'id ibn Aws from Ibn 'Awn from Ibn Sirin from Abu Hurairah, and the authentic narration is from Abu Sahl Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Mihrani and Abu Nasr ibn Qatadah who both said: Abu 'Ali Hamid ibn al-Raffa' al-Harawi narrated from Muhammad ibn Yunus who narrated from Sa'id Abu Zaid al-Ansari, and he mentioned it except that he said: "He used to turn his head during prayer, until this verse was revealed: 'Successful indeed are the believers, those who humble themselves in their prayers'" [Surah Al-Mu'minun:1]. So, he lowered his head and described it to us.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ تَدُورُ عَيْنَاهُ يَنْظُرُ هَاهُنَا وَهَاهُنَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ خَاشِعُونَ} [المؤمنون 2] فَطَأْطَأَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ رَأْسَهُ وَنَكَّسَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَرُوِي ذَلِكَ عَنْ أَبِي زَيْدٍ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ مَوْصُولًا وَالصَّحِيحُ هُوَ الْمُرْسَلُ 3540 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَهْلٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمِهْرَانِيُّ وَأَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ قَالَا ثنا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ حَامِدُ بْنُ الرَّفَّاءِ الْهَرَوِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ثنا سَعِيدٌ أَبُو زَيْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَذَكَرَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ كَانَ يَلْتَفِتُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ خَاشِعُونَ} [المؤمنون 1] فَنَكَّسَ رَأْسَهُ وَوَصَفَ لَنَا أَبُو زَيْدٍ
