The Prophet ﷺ saw some sputum in the direction of the Qibla (on the wall of the mosque) and he disliked that and the sign of disgust was apparent from his face. So he got up and scraped it off with his hand and said, "Whenever anyone of you stands for the prayer, he is speaking in private to his Lord or his Lord is between him and his Qibla. So, none of you should spit in the direction of the Qibla but one can spit to the left or under his foot." The Prophet ﷺ then took the corner of his sheet and spat in it and folded it and said, "Or you can do this. "

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَأَى نُخَامَةً فِي الْقِبْلَةِ فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى رُئِيَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقَامَ فَحَكَّهُ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا قَامَ فِي صَلاَتِهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ أَوْ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَلاَ يَبْزُقَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ قِبَلَ قِبْلَتِهِ وَلَكِنْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ طَرَفَ رِدَائِهِ فَبَصَقَ فِيهِ ثُمَّ رَدَّ بَعْضَهُ عَلَى بَعْضٍ فَقَالَ أَوْ يَفْعَلْ هَكَذَا

The Prophet ﷺ said, "A faithful believer while in prayer is speaking in private to his Lord, so he should neither spit in front of him nor to his right side but he could spit either on his left or under his foot."

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا كَانَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَإِنَّمَا يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ فَلاَ يَبْزُقَنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلاَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَلَكِنْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ

The Prophet ﷺ saw expectoration (on the wall of the mosque) in the direction of the Qibla and scraped it off with his hand. It seemed that he disliked it and the sign of disgust was apparent from his face. He said, "If anyone of you stands for the prayer, he is speaking in private to his Lord, (or) his Lord is between him and his Qibla, therefore he should not spit towards his Qibla, but he could spit either on his left or under his foot." Then he took the corner of his sheet and spat in it, folded it and said, "Or do this."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَأَى نُخَامَةً فِي الْقِبْلَةِ فَحَكَّهَا بِيَدِهِ وَرُئِيَ مِنْهُ كَرَاهِيَةٌ أَوْ رُئِيَ كَرَاهِيَتُهُ لِذَلِكَ وَشِدَّتُهُ عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا قَامَ فِي صَلاَتِهِ فَإِنَّمَا يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ أَوْ رَبُّهُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ قِبْلَتِهِ فَلاَ يَبْزُقَنَّ فِي قِبْلَتِهِ وَلَكِنْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ طَرَفَ رِدَائِهِ فَبَزَقَ فِيهِ وَرَدَّ بَعْضَهُ عَلَى بَعْضٍ قَالَ أَوْ يَفْعَلُ هَكَذَا

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whenever anyone of you offers his prayer he is speaking in private to his Lord. So he should not spit to his right but under his left foot."

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا صَلَّى يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ فَلاَ يَتْفِلَنَّ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَلَكِنْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ الْيُسْرَى

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do the prostration properly and do not put your forearms flat with elbows touching the ground like a dog. And if you want to spit, do not spit in front, nor to the right for the person in prayer is speaking in private to his Lord."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ اعْتَدِلُوا فِي السُّجُودِ وَلاَ يَبْسُطْ ذِرَاعَيْهِ كَالْكَلْبِ وَإِذَا بَزَقَ فَلاَ يَبْزُقَنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلاَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whenever anyone of you is in prayer, he is speaking in private to his Lord and so he should neither spit in front of him nor on his right side but to his left side under his left foot."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَإِنَّهُ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ فَلاَ يَبْزُقَنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلاَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَلَكِنْ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ الْيُسْرَى

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: When any one of you is engaged in prayer, he is holding intimate conversation with his Lord, so none of you must spit in front of him, or towards his right side, but towards his left side under his foot.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَإِنَّهُ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ فَلاَ يَبْزُقَنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلاَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَلَكِنْ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did i'tikaf (performed spiritual retreat) in the masjid. He heard them reciting ˹the Quran˺ loudly. He removed the curtain and said: "Every one of you is in a private conversation with his Lord. so do not disturb each other while raising their voices in recitation" or said, "in prayer."

اعْتَكَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَسَمِعَهُمْ يَجْهَرُونَ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فَكَشَفَ السِّتْرَ وَقَالَ «أَلاَ إِنَّ كُلَّكُمْ مُنَاجٍ رَبَّهُ فَلاَ يُؤْذِيَنَّ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا وَلاَ يَرْفَعْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ فِي الْقِرَاءَةِ» أَوْ قَالَ «فِي الصَّلاَةِ»

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn al Harith at-Taymi from Abu Hazim at-Tammar from al Bayadi that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to the people while they were praying and their voices were raised in the recitation. He said, "When you pray you are talking confidentially to your Lord. So look to what you confide to Him, and do not say the Qur'an out loud so that others hear it."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ وَقَدْ عَلَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمْ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْمُصَلِّيَ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ فَلْيَنْظُرْ بِمَا يُنَاجِيهِ بِهِ وَلاَ يَجْهَرْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ بِالْقُرْآنِ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ retired to the mosque. He heard them (the people) reciting the Qur'an in a loud voice. He removed the curtain and said: Lo! every one of you is calling his Lord quietly. One should not trouble the other and one should not raise the voice in recitation or in prayer over the voice of the other. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1332)

اعْتَكَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَسَمِعَهُمْ يَجْهَرُون بِالْقِرَاءَةِ وَهُوَ فِي قُبَّةٍ لَهُ فَكَشَفَ السُّتُورَ وَقَالَ إِنَّ كُلَّكُمْ مُنَاجٍ رَبَّهُ فَلَا يُؤْذِيَنَّ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا وَلَا يَرْفَعَنَّ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ أَوْ قَالَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to the people while they were praying, and their voices were raised in recitation. He said, "Verily, the one who is praying is holding a private conversation with his Lord, so let him look at what he is conversing with him and not raise his voice with the Quran, one over the other."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ وَقَدْ عَلَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمْ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْمُصَلِّي يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ ﷻ فَلْيَنْظُرْ مَا يُنَاجِيهِ وَلَا يَجْهَرْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ بِالْقُرْآنِ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "When one of you is in prayer, he is conversing with his Lord, so none of you should spit to his right." Ibn Ja'far said, "Nor should he spit in front of him nor to his right, but rather to his left or under his feet."

أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّهُ مُنَاجٍ رَبَّهُ فَلَا يَتْفُلَنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ قَالَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ فَلَا يَتْفُلُ أَمَامَهُ وَلَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَلَكِنْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw a phlegm in the direction of the Qibla of the mosque, so he wiped it. Then, he showed extreme discomfort on his face because of that. He said, "Indeed, when a servant stands to pray, he is conversing privately with his Lord between him and the Qibla. So, if one of you spits, let him spit to his left or under his left foot, or do like this." Then, he took a corner of his garment and spat in it, then rubbed some of it with another part.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَأَى نُخَامَةً فِي قِبْلَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَحَكَّهَا فَرُئِيَ فِي وَجْهِهِ شِدَّةُ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا قَامَ يُصَلِّي فَإِنَّمَا يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَإِذَا بَصَقَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَبْصُقْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ الْيُسْرَى أَوْ يَفْعَلْ هَكَذَا وَأَخَذَ طَرَفَ رِدَائِهِ فَبَصَقَ فِيهِ ثُمَّ دَلَكَ بَعْضَهُ بِبَعْضٍ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "When one of you is in prayer, he should not spit in front of him or to his right, for he is in private converse with his Lord. Rather, he should spit to his left or underneath his foot."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلَا يَتْفُلْ أَمَامَهُ وَلَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ وَلَكِنْ لِيَتْفُلْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ

[Machine] "Narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: When any one of you is in prayer, he should not spit in front of him or to his right, for he is conversing with his Lord; rather, let him spit to his left or beneath his feet."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلَا يَتْفُلْ أَمَامَهُ وَلَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ وَلْيَتْفُلْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: When any one of you is engaged in prayer, he is holding intimate conversation with his Lord, so none of you must spit in front of him, or towards his right side, but towards his left side under his foot. (Using translation from Muslim 551)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي صَلَاةٍ فَإِنَّهُ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ فَلَا يَبْزُقَنَّ قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ يَبْصُقَنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَلَكِنْ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ وَتَحْتَقَدَمِهِ

[Machine] "He saw a stain in the direction of the prayer niche in the mosque, so he poked at it until we recognized it on his face. He scratched it and said, 'When one of you stands up for prayer, they are conversing with their Lord, or their Lord is conversing with them between them and the prayer niche. Let them spit if they happen to spit to their left or under their foot.' He gestured as if it were on his garment. He said, 'We used to say to Humaid, and he would say, "Glory be to Allah, who is he referring to?" meaning the Prophet ﷺ , and he would not give us any more explanation.'"

رَأَى نُخَامَةً فِي قِبْلَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَشَقَّ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّىعَرَفْنَا ذَاكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَحَكَّهُ وَقَالَ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ أَوِ الْمَرْءَ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّهُ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ أَوْ رَبَّهُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَلْيَبْزُقْ إِذَا بَزَقَ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ وَأَوْمَأَ هَكَذَا كَأَنَّهُ فِي ثَوْبِهِ قَالَ وَكُنَّا نَقُولُ لِحُمَيْدٍ فَيَقُولُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ مَنْ هُوَ يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَلَا يَزِيدُنَا عَلَيْهِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Be moderate in your prostration, and do not extend your arms like a dog, nor spit between your hands, nor to your right. Instead, one should converse with his Lord privately, but to his left side or under his foot."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اعْتَدِلُوا فِي السُّجُودِ وَلَا يَبْسُطْ أَحَدُكُمْ ذِرَاعَيْهِ كَالْكَلْبِ وَلَا يَبْزُقْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فَإِنَّمَا يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ وَلَكِنْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: When one of you is in prayer, then he is engaged in a private conversation with his Lord, so let him not spit in front of him or to his right, but let him spit to his left or under his foot."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي صَلَاةٍ فَإِنَّهُ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ فَلَا يَتْفِلَنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَلْيَتْفِلْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When one of you is in prayer, they are conversing with their Lord, therefore, they should not spit in front of them or on their right side, but should spit on their left side or under their foot."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ فَلَا يَتْفُلَنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَلْيَتْفُلْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَو تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When one of you is in prayer, they are communing with their Lord, so they should not spit. Hajjaj said, 'They should not spit in front of them or to their right, but rather to their left, beneath their feet.'"

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّهُ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ فَلَا يَبْزُقَنَّ قَالَ قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ فَلَا يَبْصُقَنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَلَكِنْ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ

[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a stone in his hand, using it to clean his nose. He saw a person facing the Qibla while doing this and said, "When any one of you prays, he should not blow his nose with the hand he is facing, for indeed when a servant prays, he stands in private conversation with his Lord, the Elevated." Muhammad ﷺ said, "His face."

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي يَدِهِ حَصَاةٌ يَحُكُّ بِهَا نُخَامَةً رَآهَا فِي الْقِبْلَةِ وَيَقُولُ إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَا يَتَنَخَّمَنَّ تُجَاهَهُ فَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا صَلَّى فَإِنَّمَا قَامَ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ تَعَالَى قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ وِجَاهَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed Itikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan and had a house made of palm leaves for himself. One day, he put his head out and said, "Surely, the one who is in prayer is having a private conversation with his Lord, so let each of you take care about what he says to his Lord and not raise his voice against each other with recitation."

اعْتَكَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَاتُّخِذَ لَهُ فِيهِ بَيْتٌ مِنْ سَعَفٍ قَالَ فَأَخْرَجَ رَأْسَهُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الْمُصَلِّيَ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ ﷻ فَلْيَنْظُرْ أَحَدُكُمْ بِمَا يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ وَلَا يَجْهَرْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw a small mucus in the direction of the qibla, so he took a stick or a pebble and rubbed it with it. Then he said, "When any of you stands to pray, do not spit in his direction of the qibla, for he is conversing with his Lord, exalted and glorified."

رَأَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْقِبْلَةِ نُخَامَةً فَأَخَذَ عُودًا أَوْ حَصَاةً فَحَكَّهَا بِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِذَا قَامَ أَحَدُكُمْ يُصَلِّي فَلَا يَبْصُقْ فِي قِبْلَتِهِ فَإِنَّمَا يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed in the mosque and saw some traces of dung in the direction of the qibla. When he had finished his prayer, he said: "Verily, when one of you prays in the mosque, he is conversing privately with his Lord, and Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, faces him with His countenance. So no one should spit towards the qibla or to his right." Then he called for a stick and scraped it off, and then he called for a piece of cloth and wiped it.

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَرَأَى فِي الْقِبْلَةِ نُخَامَةً فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا صَلَّى فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَإِنَّهُ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ وَإِنَّ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَسْتَقْبِلُهُ بِوَجْهِهِ فَلَا يَتَنَخَّمَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الْقِبْلَةِ وَلَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِعُودٍ فَحَكَّهُ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِخَلُوقٍ فَخَضَبَهُ

That the Prophet ﷺ did iʿtikāf (performed spiritual retreat) and gave a sermon to the people, saying: "Verily, when one of you stands in prayer, he is privately conversing with his Lord, so let each one of you know what he is privately conversing with his Lord, and let no one of you make his recitation in prayer loud to one another."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ اعْتَكَفَ وَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ «أَمَا إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا قَامَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّهُ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ؛ فَلْيَعْلَمْ أَحَدُكُمْ مَا يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ، وَلَا يَجْهَرْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ۔»

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , he said, "If one of you knew his reward for walking between the hands of his brother while he is engaged in private conversation with his Lord, he would prefer to remain in that place for a hundred years rather than take a single step."

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَوْ يَعْلَمُ أَحَدُكُمْ مَا لَهُ فِي أَنْ يَمْشِيَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَخِيهِ مُعْتَرِضًا وَهُوَ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ كَانَ لَأَنْ يَقِفَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانِ مِائَةَ عَامٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَخْطُوَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When a person prays, they are having a private conversation with their Lord, or their Lord is addressing them directly between them and the qibla (direction of prayer). So when one of you spits, let them spit to their left or under their foot, or say, 'Like this' and spit on their garment and rub it with some of it on the other."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا صَلَّى فَإِنَّمَا يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ أَوْ رَبُّهُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَإِذَا بَزَقَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَبْصُقْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ أَوْ يَقُولُ هَكَذَا وَبَزَقَ فِي ثَوْبِهِ وَدَلَكَ بَعْضَهُ بِبَعْضٍ»

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ retired to the mosque. He heard them (the people) reciting the Qur'an in a loud voice. He removed the curtain and said: Lo! every one of you is calling his Lord quietly. One should not trouble the other and one should not raise the voice in recitation or in prayer over the voice of the other. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1332)

اعْتَكَفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَسَمِعَهُمْ يَجْهَرُونَ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ وَهُوَ فِي قُبَّةٍ لَهُ فَكَشَفَ السُّتُورَ وَقَالَ «أَلَا كُلُّكُمْ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ فَلَا يُؤْذِيَنَّ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا وَلَا يَرْفَعْنَ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ فِي الْقِرَاءَةِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed the Dhuhr prayer with us, and when he finished, he called out to a man who was at the back of the rows and said, "O so-and-so, don't you fear Allah? Don't you pay attention to how you pray? Indeed, when any of you stands for prayer, he is conversing privately with his Lord, so let him pay attention to how he converses with Him. Surely, you all see me, but by Allah, I see what is behind my back just as I see what is in front of me."

صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الظُّهْرَ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ نَادَى رَجُلًا كَانَ فِي آخِرِ الصُّفُوفِ فَقَالَ «يَا فُلَانُ أَلَا تَتَّقِي اللَّهَ؟ أَلَا تَنْظُرُ كَيْفَ تُصَلِّي؟ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا قَامَ يُصَلِّي إِنَّمَا يَقُومُ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ فَلْيَنْظُرْ كَيْفَ يُنَاجِيهِ إِنَّكُمْ تَرَوْنَ أَنِّي لَا أَرَاكُمْ إِنِّي وَاللَّهِ لَأَرَى مِنْ خَلْفِ ظَهْرِي كَمَا أَرَى مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ»

[Machine] "And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'When one of you stands for prayer, let him not spit in front of him, for he is conversing with his Lord as long as he is in his prayer. Nor to his right, for there is an angel to his right. Instead, let him spit to his left or under his foot and bury it."

وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا قَامَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَلَا يَبْصُقْ أَمَامَهُ لِأَنَّهُ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ مَا دَامَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ وَلَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فَإِنَّ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ مَلَكًا وَلَكِنْ لِيَبْصُقْ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ رِجْلِهِ فَيَدْفِنُهُ»

[Machine] The Prophet Allah's peace and blessings be upon him said, "When one of you is in prayer, he should not spit to his right or in front of him, for he is having a private conversation with his Lord. However, he may spit to his left or under his foot."

أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلَا يَتْفُلْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَلَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ وَلَكِنْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When one of you stands up for prayer, he should not spit in front of him, as he is conversing with his Lord as long as he is in his prayer area. He should not spit to his right either, as there is an angel to his right. Instead, he should spit to his left or beneath his foot and bury it."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا قَامَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَلَا يَبْصُقْ أَمَامَهُ فَإِنَّهُ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ مَا دَامَ فِي مُصَلَّاهُ وَلَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فَإِنَّ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ مَلَكًا وَلْيَبْصُقْ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ رِجْلِهِ فَيَدْفِنَهُ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If one of you only knew the reward he has in walking to his brother, seeking to consult with him, while he is secluded in prayer with his Lord, he would have preferred to stand in that place for a hundred years rather than taking a single step."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَوْ يَعْلَمُ أَحَدُكُمْ مَا لَهُ فِي أَنْ يَمْشِيَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَخِيهِ مُعْتَرِضًا وَهُوَ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ لَكَانَ أَنْ يَقِفَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَقَامِ مِائَةَ عَامٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الْخُطْوَةِ الَّتِي خَطَا»

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ secluded himself and addressed the people, saying, "Indeed, when one of you stands in prayer, he is conversing with his Lord, so let each of you know what he is conversing with his Lord about, and let not one of you pronounce his recitation in prayer loudly over another."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ اعْتَكَفَ وَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا قَامَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّهُ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ فَيَعْلَمُ أَحَدُكُمْ بِمَا يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ وَلَا يَجْهَرْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to the people while they were praying and their voices were raised with recitation. He said, "Verily, the one who is in prayer is having a confidential conversation with his Lord, so let each one of you see what he converses with his Lord in, and do not compete with one another in recitation of the Quran."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «خَرَجَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ وَقَدْ عَلَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمْ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ» فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الْمُصَلِّيَ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ فَلْيَنْظُرْ مَاذَا يُنَاجِيهِ بِهِ وَلَا يَجْهَرُ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ فِي الْقُرْآنِ»

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ retired to the mosque. He heard them (the people) reciting the Qur'an in a loud voice. He removed the curtain and said: Lo! every one of you is calling his Lord quietly. One should not trouble the other and one should not raise the voice in recitation or in prayer over the voice of the other. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1332)

«اعْتَكَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَسَمِعَهُمْ يَجْهَرُونَ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ وَهُوَ فِي قُبَّةٍ فَكَشَفَ السُّتُورَ» وَقَالَ «أَلَا إِنَّ كُلَّكُمْ مُنَاجٍ رَبَّهُ فَلَا يُؤْذَيَنَّ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا وَلَا يَرْفَعَنَّ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ فِي الْقِرَاءَةِ» أَوْ قَالَ «فِي الصَّلَاةِ»

[Machine] He heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , while he was sitting in the mosque one day, preaching to the people, admonishing them, and encouraging them. Then he said, "There is no one who prays except that he is conversing with his Lord, so none of you should raise his voice over another with the recitation of the Qur'an." [387] 3347 Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Abdul-Hakam informed us from Shuayb from Layth who said: Ibn al-Had informed us from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim from Ata bin Yasar from a man from the Ansar from Bani Bayadah that he heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and he mentioned a similar narration. 3348 Muhammad ibn Abdullah informed us from Shuayb who said: Layth informed us who said: Ibn al-Had informed us from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim from Abu Hazim, the freed slave of Ghifar, that he narrated this hadith from Al-Bayadi from the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . Abu Abdur-Rahman contradicted him and narrated it from his master, Sa'id.

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُجَاوِرٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَوْمًا فَوَعَظَ النَّاسَ وَحَذَّرَهُمْ وَرَغَّبَهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ مُصَلٍّ إِلَّا وَهُوَ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ فَلَا يَجْهَرْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ بِالْقُرْآنِ» [387]
3347 أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ الْهَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ مِنْ بَنِي بَيَاضَةَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ
3348 أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ الْهَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ مَوْلَى الْغِفَارِيِّينَ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ الْبَيَاضِيُّ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ خَالَفَهُ عَبْدُ رَبِّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ فَرَوَاهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ observed i'tikaf during the last ten days of Ramadan and said, "When one of you is in prayer, he is conversing with his Lord, so do not raise your voices with the recitation of the Quran." Abu 'Abdur-Rahman differed with him, and Yahya ibn Sa'id narrated it from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim, from Abu Hazim.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ اعْتَكَفَ الْعَشْرَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ وَقَالَ «إِنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ إِذَا كَانَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّمَا يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ فَلَا تَرْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمْ بِالْقُرْآنِ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ خَالَفَهُ يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ فَرَوَاهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, came out to the people while they were praying and their voices were raised in recitation. He said, "Indeed, the one who is praying is in private conversation with his Lord, so let him see what he converses with Him and not raise his voice over others with the Quran." Abu Abdullah Al-Rahman said that Ibn Al-Mubarak, Al-Laith ibn Saad, and Yazid ibn Harun narrated this hadith.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ وَقَدْ عَلَتْ أَصْوَاتَهُمْ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الْمُصَلِّيَ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ فَلْيَنْظُرْ مَاذَا يُنَاجِيهِ بِهِ وَلَا يَجْهَرْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ بِالْقُرْآنِ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَرْسَلَهُ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ واللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ [388]
3351 أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ مُرْسَلًا
3352 أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ مَوْلَى الْأَنْصَارِ وَكَانَ قَدِيمًا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ الْمُصَلِّيَ» فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ
3353 أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ مَوْلَى الْأَنْصَارِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ 3354 قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَرَوَاهُ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَبَا حَازِمٍ أَخْبَرَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ نَحْوَهُ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ saw some spittle on the Qibla of the mosque, so he wiped it with his hand. It caused him distress and he said, "When a person prays, they are conversing privately with their Lord between themselves and the Qibla. So if any one of you spits, let them spit to their left or under their feet, or do this," and he showed them, "and then wipe it off their clothes or rub it against each other." Yazid said, "Humaid saw us doing this."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَأَى نُخَامَةً فِي قِبْلَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَحَكَّهَا بِيَدِهِ وَرُئِيَ فِي وَجْهِهِ شِدَّةُ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا صَلَّى فَإِنَّمَا يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَإِذَا بَصَقَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَبْصُقْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ أَوْ يَفْعَلْ هَكَذَا ثُمَّ بَزَقَ فِي ثَوْبِهِ وَدَلَكَ بَعْضَهُ بِبَعْضٍ قَالَ يَزِيدُ وَأَرَانَا حُمَيْدٌ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ retired to the mosque. He heard them (the people) reciting the Qur'an in a loud voice. He removed the curtain and said: Lo! every one of you is calling his Lord quietly. One should not trouble the other and one should not raise the voice in recitation or in prayer over the voice of the other. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1332)

اعْتَكَفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَسَمِعَهُمْ يَجْهَرُونَ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ وَهُوَ فِي قُبَّةٍ لَهُ فَكَشَفَ الْمَسْتُورَةَ وَقَالَ أَلَا إِنَّ كُلَّكُمْ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ فَلَا يُؤْذِيَنَّ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا وَلَا يَرْفَعَنَّ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ فِي الْقِرَاءَةِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to the people while they were praying and their voices were raised in recitation, so he said: "Verily, the one who prays is having a private conversation with his Lord, so let him look towards what he is conversing with Him, and do not raise your voices over one another in recitation."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ وَقَدْ عَلَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمْ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْمُصَلِّيَ مُنَاجٍ رَبَّهُ فَلْيَنْظُرْ مَا يُنَاجِيهِ بِهِ وَلَا يَجْهَرْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ saw mucus in the direction of the qibla (the direction of prayer) and disliked it until it was visible on his face. He then wiped it off and said, "Indeed, when one of you stands in prayer, he is actually conversing with his Lord, or his Lord is speaking to him in between himself and the qibla. Therefore, let him spit to his left or beneath his foot. Then he took hold of the corner of his garment, spat into it, brought some of it back to the other part, and said, "Or let him do like this."

رَأَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نُخَامَةً فِي الْقِبْلَةِ فَكَرِهَهُ حَتَّى عُرِفَ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَحَكَّهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ أَوْ إِنَّ الْمَرْءَ إِذَا قَامَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَإِنَّمَا يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ أَوْ قَالَ رَبُّهُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَلْيَبْزُقْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِطَرَفِ ثَوْبِهِ فَبَزَقَ فِيهِ وَرَدَّ بَعْضَهُ عَلَى بَعْضٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَوْ لِيَفْعَلْ هَكَذَا

The Prophet ﷺ saw some sputum in the direction of the Qibla (on the wall of the mosque) and he disliked that and the sign of disgust was apparent from his face. So he got up and scraped it off with his hand and said, "Whenever anyone of you stands for the prayer, he is speaking in private to his Lord or his Lord is between him and his Qibla. So, none of you should spit in the direction of the Qibla but one can spit to the left or under his foot." The Prophet ﷺ then took the corner of his sheet and spat in it and folded it and said, "Or you can do this. " (Using translation from Bukhārī 405)

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَأَى نُخَامَةً فِي الْقِبْلَةِ فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى رُئِيَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقَامَ فَحَكَّهَا بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا قَامَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ وَإِنَّ رَبَّهُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَلَا يَبْصُقَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي قِبْلَتِهِ وَلَكِنْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِطَرَفِ رِدَائِهِ فَبَصَقَ فِيهِ ثُمَّ رَدَّ بَعْضَهُ إِلَى بَعْضٍ فَقَالَ أَوْ يَفْعَلُ كَذَا

The Prophet ﷺ said, "A faithful believer while in prayer is speaking in private to his Lord, so he should neither spit in front of him nor to his right side but he could spit either on his left or under his foot." (Using translation from Bukhārī 413)

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا كَانَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَإِنَّمَا يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ فَلَا يَبْزُقَنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَلَكِنْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوَ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ قَالَ أَبُو عُمَرَ الْحَوْضِيُّ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ وَلَكِنْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ رِجْلِهِ

"إِنَّ أحَدَكُم إِذَا قامَ في صَلاته فَإِنَّهُ يُنَاجى رَبَّه، وإِن ربَّهُ بينَه وبينَ القِبْلَةِ فلا يَبْزُقَنَّ أحَدُكم قِبَلَ قِبْلته، وَلَكِنْ عن يَسَارِه، أَو تَحْتَ قَدَمِه".

"إِنَّ أحدكم إِذا كان في صلاتِه فإِنه يناجى ربَّه فلا يَبْزُقَنَّ بين يَدَيْه ولا عن يمينه ولكن عن يساره وتحت قدمه ".

"إِنَّ أحَدَكُم إِذَا صَلَّى فَإِنَّهُ يُنَاجِى رَبَّهُ، وَإنَّ اللَّهَ يَسْتَقْبلُهُ بُوَجْهه فلا يَتَنَخَّمَنَّ أحَدُكُم في القبلةِ، ولا عَن يمينه".
عبد الرزاق عن ابن عمرو ؓ.
"إنَّ أحدكم إذا قام يصلى إنما يناجى ربه فلينظر كيف يناجيه".
ك عن أبى هريرة "صح".

"إِنَّ أَحَدَكمْ إِذَا قام في الصلاةِ فإِنه يناجى ربَّه فيعلمُ أَحدُكم بما يناجى ربَّه، ولا يَجْهَرْ بعضُكم على بعضٍ بالقراءَةِ في الصلاةِ".

"إِنَّ الْمُصَلِّىَ مُنَاج رَبَّه، فَلْيَنْظُرْ مَا يُنَاجيه به، وَلا يَجْهرْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْض بالْقِرَاءَةِ".
