Is it true that the Prophet's gaze was mostly directed towards the ground, and where should a Muslim's gaze be directed when walking?

It is mentioned in the description of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that his gaze towards the ground was longer than his gaze towards the sky, but this is a very weak hadith. A Muslim should look ahead while walking and not turn right or left. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not turn around when he walked.
