Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

The point of convergence of sight during Salaah.

8. While standing in Salaah (Qiyam), the look should remain confined on the spot for sajdah and while prostrating (during sajdah), the direction of the nose should be kept in view and over one’s right and left shoulders while saying salam. [Bahishti Zewar]

9. When the Prophet (SallAllahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) stood up for Salaah, he kept his head downwards (reported by Imam Ahmad) and while reciting tashahhud, his look would not extend beyond the first finger of the right hand. [Zad -ul- Mad]

10. Hadrat Anas (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Messenger of ALLAH told him: ‘O Anas, keep your look confined to the spot where you prostrate during the whole prayer i.e in Qiyam.” [Mishkat]

11. The sunan Salaah after the fard should not be said standing on the same spot. One should move to the right, or left or forward or backward. It is meritorious to say them at home. [Madarij -un- Nubuwah]
