[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
