Is there an authentic hadith regarding looking at the place of prostration in prayer?

A: It is obligatory to lower the gaze; the warning against raising the gaze to the sky indicates that it is obligatory to lower it.
Q: Looking at the front?
A: The recommended practice is to look at the place of prostration; because it is closer to humility.
