Raising the gaze to the imam in the prayer
خَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَصَلَّى، قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، رَأَيْنَاكَ تَنَاوَلُ شَيْئًا فِي مَقَامِكَ، ثُمَّ رَأَيْنَاكَ تَكَعْكَعْتَ. قَالَ " إِنِّي أُرِيتُ الْجَنَّةَ، فَتَنَاوَلْتُ مِنْهَا عُنْقُودًا، وَلَوْ أَخَذْتُهُ لأَكَلْتُمْ مِنْهُ مَا بَقِيَتِ الدُّنْيَا ".

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، رضى الله عنهما قَالَ
Translation
Ibn Abbas reported: The sun was eclipsed in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he prayed. They said, “O Messenger of Allah, we saw you reaching for something in your place, then we saw you step back.” He said, “I was shown Paradise, and I reached for a bunch of grapes from it. Had I taken it, you would have eaten from it as long as the world remains.”

Ibn Abbas berichtete: Zur Zeit des Gesandten Allahs ﷺ verfinsterte sich die Sonne, und er betete. Sie sagten: „O Gesandter Allahs, wir sahen dich an deinem Platz nach etwas greifen, dann sahen wir dich zurückweichen.“ Er sagte: „Mir wurde das Paradies gezeigt, und ich griff nach einer Traube davon. Hätte ich sie genommen, hättet ihr davon gegessen, solange die Welt besteht.“

İbn Abbâs (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Resûlullah ﷺ zamanında güneş tutuldu; o da namaz kıldı. (Ashâb): “Ey Allah'ın Resûlü! Seni durduğun yerde bir şey almaya uzanırken gördük, sonra da geri çekildiğini gördük” dediler. Şöyle buyurdu: “Bana cennet gösterildi; ondan bir salkım almaya uzandım. Eğer onu alsaydım, dünya durdukça ondan yerdiniz.”
