bukhari:1213 – Sulaymān b. Ḥarb > Ḥammād > Ayyūb > Nāfiʿ > Ibn ʿUmar

The Prophet ﷺ saw some sputum on the wall facing the Qibla of the mosque and became furious with the people of the mosque and said, "During the prayer, Allah is in front of everyone of you and so he should not spit (or said, 'He should not expectorate')." Then he got down and scratched the sputum with his hand. Ibn ʿUmar said (after narrating), "If anyone of you has to spit during the prayer, he should spit to his left."  

البخاري:١٢١٣ – حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ؓ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَأَى نُخَامَةً فِي قِبْلَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَتَغَيَّظَ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْمَسْجِدِ وَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قِبَلَ أَحَدِكُمْ فَإِذَا كَانَ فِي صَلاَتِهِ فَلاَ يَبْزُقَنَّ أَوْ قَالَ لاَ يَتَنَخَّمَنَّ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَحَتَّهَا بِيَدِهِ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ ؓ إِذَا بَزَقَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَبْزُقْ عَلَى يَسَارِهِ

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ saw some spittle in the direction of the mosque's qibla, so he stood up and wiped it away with his hand.

darimi:1437 – Sulaymān b. Ḥarb > Ḥammād b. Zayd > Ayyūb > Nāfiʿ > Ibn ʿUmar

[Machine] While the Prophet ﷺ was delivering a sermon, he saw some spit in the direction of the mosque's Qibla (prayer direction). This annoyed him and he reprimanded the people of the mosque, saying that Allah will accept a person's prayer when they are in it, so they should not spit there or he said, "do not blow your nose." He then ordered for it to be wiped and it was wiped. Hammad said, "I do not know of it except that it was done with saffron."

بَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ إِذْ رَأَى نُخَامَةً فِي قِبْلَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَتَغَيَّظَ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْمَسْجِدِ وَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قِبَلَ أَحَدِكُمْ إِذَا كَانَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلَا يَبْزُقَنَّ أَوْ قَالَ لَا يَتَنَخَّعَنَّ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهَا فَحُكَّ مَكَانُهَا وَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَلُطِخَتْ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ وَلَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا قَالَ بِزَعْفَرَانٍ
