The ruling on raising the gaze to the sky during prayer

The Shaykh:
They say it is disliked; you know it is among the disliked things. And the 'Umrah may be for recitation. The evidence is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not say to the one he taught the prayer, nor did he indicate that the Prophet was from Pharaoh, yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
You have the hadith of the one who was taught his prayer, in which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) taught him how to pray. This is the standard for the prayer; this is the standard for the prayer. In it are the pillars and the obligatory acts, and the leaving of the recommended matters. Yes.
