What is the ruling on the addition of raising one's gaze to the sky when leaving the house in the hadith?

The questioner : His other tricks, which involve falsifying and misleading the imams of the Salaf and showing no regard for them, and so on, up to the point where we do not lengthen the discussion about the reason we have gathered now. So, rely on Allah and come, let us see what you have.

The Shaykh : I have guests here, among them is my nephew, Ja'far ibn Abu Ja'far Mansur, who is in the Levant. Some of our guests asked me, "What are you working on now?" I told them, "By Allah, my story is this: I am currently verifying the final batch of the second volume of *Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah*. But I had not passed four hundred hadiths when I was surprised by this wicked al-Saqaf. He took from these authentic hadiths the hadith , and he weakened it, even saying it is a fabricated hadith. Why? Because it agrees with our belief and contradicts his belief. We say that Allah is in the sky, as He said in the Qur'an , and so on. The hadith matches the verse, and yet he says this hadith was authenticated by al-Albani in his *Sahih*, and the answer is such and such, and so on. This hadith is in the volume under my hand. I am not keeping it anymore; the opportunity is now, so I need to write a correction at the end of the book to respond to this al-Saqaf. And truly, the one who said it is right: al-Saqaf openly says, "Who is the one who ascribes a body to Allah? Al-Albani." And I say, "Allah is not in a place. Allah was, and there was no place. He is above the Throne, He rose above the Throne, there is no place." And our brothers heard a discussion from me about twenty years ago, or more, in Mina, in Mina, during Hajj, and so on. Now I have started writing a response to him that will be appended to the *Mustadrak* at the end of the volume. I have not yet started on this, but a person appeared who commented on *Riyad al-Salihin*, weakening hadiths in *Sahih al-Bukhari* and *Sahih Muslim* without knowledge and without any clear evidence. And most of these hadiths, in a strange coincidence, are in the same volume under my hand. I started responding to him, and I am in this... what shall I tell you? The pressure, the academic pressure. My wife, one night, may Allah reward her with good, read to me a hadith that seemed to have never passed through my life, with an addition, an addition, and the hadith is in *Sahih al-Kalimah al-Tayyibah*. That the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) , and "I am the One who was, and I am the One who will be, and I am the One who remains. How great I am, how awe-inspiring I am upon you." It reminded me of raising his gaze to the sky. I might be sixteen or seventeen years old today, memorizing this *wird* as you see, repeating it as it is with my old age, so there is nothing strange about it. But this addition, as if I was not paying attention to it at all, and it is in *Sahih*... what? *Al-Kalimah al-Tayyibah*.
I never rested; I stayed up until one o'clock in the morning to catch up with this and that and that, and so on. Now I have three numbers in *Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah*. And upon you be peace, the mercy of Allah, and His blessings. The important thing is that I traced this book, this hadith, in the sources of the Sunnah. I spoke about it in *Al-Kalimah al-Tayyibah*. I said, when al-Tirmidhi said, "It is a hasan sahih hadith," I said, "Regarding al-Aswad, it is as he said," briefly. But this has the addition. How is it not settled in my mind at all? And the meaning of my saying "he said hasan sahih" is that the addition is authentic. But I quickly remembered that the authentic hadith in *Muslim* warns the praying person not to raise his head when he raises his head from bowing, and his gaze to the sky, lest his gaze glint. I wonder if this addition is authentic? And if it is authentic, how do we reconcile it with this hadith? Allah.
Yes, we say, meaning, there is no prayer here, there is a prayer, head, I mean, the obligation, head. I tried to assume that the hadith is authentic, and the reconciliation is in one of the known ways of reconciliation, but I must be sure that this hadith is authentic or not? In summary, I opened the books of the Sunnah and found that the hadith revolves around Mansur ibn al-Mu'tamir, from al-Sha'bi, from Umm Salama. And I found that nine reliable narrators narrated this hadith from Mansur.

The questioner : Husayn, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Huh? No, no, it has not come yet. I am saying the hadith has not come yet. The issue is the addition. Nine people, all of them narrated this hadith from Mansur ibn al-Mu'tamir, from al-Sha'bi, from Umm Salama. We started with the Sunan, with *Sunan al-Nasa'i* and *'Amal al-Yawm wa al-Laylah* by al-Nasa'i, because he narrated it through the route of Sufyan al-Thawri, the Imam the Hafiz, from whom? From Mansur. He produced it, so-and-so and so-and-so, just three lines of *takhrij*, and so on. We started with the second, Shu'bah, and what do you know about Shu'bah? And so on, nine of them. We found that from Shu'bah, the narrators differed. Muslim ibn Ibrahim al-Farahidi brought the addition like this. Yes, this one is reliable. In short, the issue is that these nine, none of them mentioned the addition, but Muslim ibn Ibrahim al-Farahidi mentioned it. And in the language of hadith scholars, this is called *shadhdh* (anomalous). So I concluded that the addition is anomalous. To not waste this effort, I put it in *Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah* and chose the one that does not have the addition. And in the *takhrij*, I clarified that al-Farahidi uniquely narrated this addition, contrary to the narrators who narrated it with him from Shu'bah. This is the first contradiction. The second contradiction is that those who narrated it, and among them Sufyan, did not mention it from Mansur directly; there is no addition. This is the intent, O Abu Anas. Where is the proof? So now I am being chased by such things, and this is my habit, not just today. And therefore I cannot open a new door for myself; I do not know how long it will drag me.
