وَقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: {أَفَلاَ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى الإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ وَإِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ} وَقَالَ أَيُّوبُ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ.

البخاري:٦٢١٤حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ يَقُولُ أَخْبَرَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

When it was the last third of the night, or some part of the night, the Prophet ﷺ got up looking towards the sky and recited: 'Verily! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of Night and Day, there are indeed signs for men of u understanding.' (3.190)
