حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ الْحِزَامِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِي، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ أَبِي وَدَاعَةَ السَّهْمِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي مُصْعَبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّاسُ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ إِذَا قَامَ الْمُصَلِّي يُصَلِّي لَمْ يَعْدُ بَصَرُ أَحَدِهِمْ مَوْضِعَ قَدَمَيْهِ فَتُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَكَانَ النَّاسُ إِذَا قَامَ أَحَدُهُمْ يُصَلِّي لَمْ يَعْدُ بَصَرُ أَحَدِهِمْ مَوْضِعَ جَبِينِهِ فَتُوُفِّيَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَكَانَ عُمَرُ فَكَانَ النَّاسُ إِذَا قَامَ أَحَدُهُمْ يُصَلِّي لَمْ يَعْدُ بَصَرُ أَحَدِهِمْ مَوْضِعَ الْقِبْلَةِ وَكَانَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ فَكَانَتِ الْفِتْنَةُ فَتَلَفَّتَ النَّاسُ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالاً ‏.‏

Ibrahim ibn al-Mundhir al-Hizami narrated to us; my maternal uncle, Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn al-Muttalib ibn al-Saib ibn Abi Wada‘ah al-Sahmi, narrated to us; Musa ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Umayyah al-Makhzumi narrated to me; Mus‘ab ibn Abdullah narrated to me, from Umm Salamah bint Abi Umayyah, the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: During the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), when someone stood to pray, no one’s gaze went beyond the place of their feet. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, and when someone stood to pray, no one’s gaze went beyond the place where they would put their forehead. Then Abu Bakr died, and during Umar’s time, when someone stood to pray, no one’s gaze went beyond the direction of the qiblah. Then came Uthman ibn Affan, and the turmoil occurred, so people began looking to the right and the left.
