Narrated Ubadah ibn as-Samit

We came to Jabir—meaning the son of Abdullah—while he was in his mosque. He said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to us in this mosque of ours, and in his hand was an 'urjun of Ibn Tab. He looked and saw some phlegm in the qiblah of the mosque, so he approached it and scraped it off with the 'urjun. Then he said, “Which of you would like Allah to turn away from him with His Face?” Then he said, “Indeed, when any of you stands to pray, Allah is directly in front of his face. So he must not spit in front of his face, nor to his right, but let him spit to his left, under his left foot. If a sudden urge overtakes him in haste, let him do this with his garment.” He placed it over his mouth, then rubbed it, and then said, “Bring me some abir.” A young man from the Ansar stood up, hurrying to his family, and came back with some khuluq in the palm of his hand. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) took it and placed it on the head of the 'urjun, then smeared it over the trace of the phlegm. Jabir said: And from back then, you have been putting the khuluq in your mosques.
