abudawud:480Yaḥyá b. Ḥabīb b. ʿArabī > Khālid / Ibn al-Ḥārith > Muḥammad b. ʿAjlān > ʿIyāḍ b. ʿAbdullāh > Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī

The Prophet ﷺ liked the twigs of the date-palm, and he often had one of them in his hand. He entered the mosque and saw phlegm in the wall towards qiblah and he scraped it. He then turned towards people in anger and said: Is any one of you is pleased to spit in his face? When any of you faces qiblah, he indeed faces his Lord, the Majestic the Glorious: the angels are at right side. Therefore, he should not spit on his right side or before him towards qiblah. He should spit towards his left side or beneath his foot. If he is in a hurry, he should do so-and-so. Describing it Ibn ‘Ajlan said: He should spit in his cloth and fold a part of it over the other.  

أبو داود:٤٨٠حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عَرَبِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلاَنَ عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يُحِبُّ الْعَرَاجِينَ وَلاَ يَزَالُ فِي يَدِهِ مِنْهَا فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَرَأَى نُخَامَةً فِي قِبْلَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَحَكَّهَا ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ مُغْضَبًا فَقَالَ أَيَسُرُّ أَحَدَكُمْ أَنْ يُبْصَقَ فِي وَجْهِهِ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا اسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ فَإِنَّمَا يَسْتَقْبِلُ رَبَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَزَّ وَالْمَلَكُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فَلاَ يَتْفُلْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَلاَ فِي قِبْلَتِهِ وَلْيَبْصُقْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ فَإِنْ عَجِلَ بِهِ أَمْرٌ فَلْيَقُلْ هَكَذَا وَوَصَفَ لَنَا ابْنُ عَجْلاَنَ ذَلِكَ أَنْ يَتْفُلَ فِي ثَوْبِهِ ثُمَّ يَرُدَّ بَعْضَهُ عَلَى بَعْضٍ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to like to hold the tooth stick in his hand. One day, he entered the mosque with one of them in his hand and saw some rubbish in the direction of the praying area of the mosque. So, he took them and moved them until he cleansed the area. Then, he turned to the people with anger and said, "Would any of you like it if someone were to stand facing him and spit in his face? When any of you stands for prayer, he is facing his Lord ﷻ and the angels are on his right. Therefore, he should not spit in front of him or to his right. He should spit to his left under his left foot. But if any harm comes to him due to this, then let him say, 'Like this' and he should do so sparingly. Yahya rubbed his face with his garment and wiped it."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُعْجِبُهُ الْعَرَاجِينُ أَنْ يُمْسِكَهَا بِيَدِهِ فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَفِي يَدِهِ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهَا فَرَأَى نُخَامَاتٍ فِي قِبْلَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَحَتَّهُنَّ بِهِ حَتَّى أَنْقَاهُنَّ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ مُغْضَبًا فَقَالَ أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلَهُ رَجُلٌ فَيَبْصُقَفِي وَجْهِهِ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّمَا يَسْتَقْبِلُ رَبَّهُ ﷻ وَالْمَلَكُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فَلَا يَبْصُقْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَلْيَبْصُقْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ الْيُسْرَى أَوْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَإِنْ عَجِلَتْ بِهِ بَادِرَةٌ فَلْيَقُلْ هَكَذَا وَرَدَّ بَعْضَهُ عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَتَفَلَ يَحْيَى فِي ثَوْبِهِ وَدَلَكَهُ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to like to hold the prayer beads in his hand. One day, he entered the mosque with one of them in his hand and saw some debris in the direction of the mosque's Qibla. He cleaned them until they were removed, then he turned to the people angrily and said, "Would any of you like to be faced by a man who spits in his face? When one of you stands up for prayer, he faces his Lord and the angels are on his right, so he should not spit in front of him, nor to his right. Rather, he should spit under his left foot or to his left. If he needs to spit urgently, then he should cover it with a part of his clothing." Some narrations reported some parts to others.

[Machine] The Prophet (PBUH) used to like pebbles and would hold them in his hand. One day, he entered the mosque holding one in his hand and he saw some sputum in the direction of the mosque's qibla. He wiped it away with the pebble he was holding and then turned towards the people angry and said, "Does anyone of you like to have a person face him and spit in his face? When one of you stands up to pray, he is actually facing his Lord and the Angel is on his right. So, he should not spit in front of him or to his right side. Instead, he should spit to his left side below his left foot. But if there is an urgency, then he can do so rapidly and say, 'In this way.' And he should then perform the ritual purification and wipe some portion of his garment to remove the remaining traces."
