13. Forgetfulness in Prayer
١٣۔ كتاب السهو
"I heard Abu Al-Ahwas saying to us in a gathering with Ibn Al-Musayyab when Ibn Al-Musayyab was sitting there, that he had heard Abu Dharr say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Allah (SWT) continues to look upon His slave while he is praying, so long as he does not turn away. If he turns his face away, He turns away from him."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ يَزَالُ اللَّهُ ﷻ مُقْبِلاً عَلَى الْعَبْدِ فِي صَلاَتِهِ مَا لَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ فَإِذَا صَرَفَ وَجْهَهُ انْصَرَفَ عَنْهُ
"I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about looking here and there during prayer. He said: 'That is something that the Shaitan snatches from one's prayer.'"
سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ الاِلْتِفَاتِ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ اخْتِلاَسٌ يَخْتَلِسُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ
A similar report was also narrated from 'Aishah, from the Prophet ﷺ.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمِثْلِهِ

"Aishah said: 'Turning around during prayer is something that the Shaitan snatches from one's prayer.'"
عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ الاِلْتِفَاتَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ اخْتِلاَسٌ يَخْتَلِسُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ
