Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended

Ali ibn Ibrahim from his father from Hammad from Hariz from Zurarah: Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: “When you face the Qiblah with your face, do not turn your face away from the Qiblah lest you corrupt your prayer, for Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, said to His Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم regarding the obligatory prayer: "So turn your face toward the Sacred Mosque; and wherever you are, turn your faces toward it" (Surah Baqarah 2:144 & 2:150) And lower your gaze and do not raise it toward the sky, and let it be directed in front of your face at the place of your prostration.”
