Undesirability of Glancing in one Direction of the other during Prayer
`Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) said: I asked the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) about random looks in Salat (prayer), and he replied, "It is something which Satan snatches from the slaves Salat."[Al-Bukhari].


Commentary:
"Pouncing" or "snatching" means to take away something swiftly from someone while he is not alert. When a person looks here and there in the course of Salat and does not concentrate on it, Satan avails this opportunity and spoils his Salat.

باب كراهة الالتفات في الصلاة لغير عذر
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهَا قَالَتْ : سأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم عَنِ الالْتِفَاتِ في الصَّلاةِ فَقَالَ : « هُوَ اخْتِلاسٌ يَخْتَلِسُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنْ صَلاةِ الْعَبْدِ » رواهُ البُخَاري .
