أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى بْنِ الْفَضْلِ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ الْحَارِثِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ،
قَالَ: صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَقَالَ: " يَا فُلَانُ أَلَا تُحْسِنُ صَلَاتَكَ، أَلَا يَنْظُرُ الْمُصَلِّي إِذَا صَلَّى كَيْفَ يُصَلِّي، فَإِنَّمَا يُصَلِّي لِنَفْسِهِ إِنِّي وَاللهِ لَأُبْصِرُ مَنْ وَرَائِي كَمَا أُبْصِرُ مَنْ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ "

He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in prayer one day, then turned away and said: "O so-and-so, will you not perfect your prayer? Does the one praying not look to how he prays? He only prays for himself. By Allah, I see those behind me just as I see those in front of me."
