Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، وَشُعْبَةُ، وَأَبَانُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " التَّفْلُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ خَطِيئَةٌ وَكَفَّارَتُهُ أَنْ تُوَارِيَهُ " .
Translation
Muslim ibn Ibrahim narrated to us: Hisham, Shuʿbah, and Aban narrated to us, from Qatadah, from Anas ibn Malik, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Spitting in the mosque is a sin, and its expiation is to conceal it.’
