Arabic hadith text

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَلْحَظُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا وَلَا يَلْوِي عُنُقَهُ خَلْفَ ظَهْرِهِ. رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَالنَّسَائِيُّ

Ibn ‘Abbas (may God be pleased with them both) said: ‘The Messenger of God (peace be upon him) used to glance to his right and left during prayer, without turning his neck to look behind him.’ Al-Tirmidhi and Nasa’i transmitted it.
