Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمَّارٍ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنْ ثَوْرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَلْتَفِتُ فِي صَلاَتِهِ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالاً وَلاَ يَلْوِي عُنُقَهُ خَلْفَ ظَهْرِهِ .
Translation
Abu ‘Ammar al-Husayn ibn Hurayth reported to us; he said: al-Fadl ibn Musa reported to us, from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sa‘id ibn Abi Hind, from Thawr ibn Zayd, from ‘Ikrimah, from Ibn ‘Abbas, who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to turn to his right and left during prayer, but he would not twist his neck behind his back.
