hakim:3483my father

[Machine] The translation is as follows: "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to raise his gaze towards the sky when he prayed, and then the verse would descend upon him: 'Those who are humble in their prayers' [Al-Mu'minun 2]. And he would lower his head."  

الحاكم:٣٤٨٣حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَعِيدٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الثَّقَفِيُّ ثنا أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى رَفَعَ بَصَرَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَنَزَلَتْ {الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ خَاشِعُونَ} [المؤمنون 2] فَطَأْطَأَ رَأْسَهُ  

«هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ لَوْلَا خِلَافٌ فِيهِ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ فَقَدْ قِيلَ عَنْهُ مُرْسَلًا وَلَمْ يُخْرِجَاهُ» الصحيح مرسل

bayhaqi:3542Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥāfiẓ from my father

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to raise his eyes to the sky when he prayed, and then the verse would be revealed, "Those who are in their prayer humbly submissive." [Surah Al-Mu'minun 2]. Then he would lower his head. This narration was reported by Hammad ibn Zaid from Ayyub as a mursal narration, and this is the preserved version.  

البيهقي:٣٥٤٢كَمَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَعِيدٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الثَّقَفِيُّ ثنا أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي أنبأ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عُلَيَّةَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى رَفَعَ بَصَرَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَنَزَلَتْ {الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ خَاشِعُونَ} [المؤمنون 2] فَطَأْطَأَ رَأْسَهُ وَرَوَاهُ حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ مُرْسَلًا وَهَذَا هُوَ الْمَحْفُوظُ
