حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِيٌّ، عَنْ وَاصِلٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَقِيلٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْمَُرَ، عَنْ أَبِي الأَسْوَدِ الدِّيلِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ أَعْمَالُ أُمَّتِي، حَسَنُهَا وَسَيِّئُهَا، فَوَجَدْتُ فِي مَحَاسِنِ أَعْمَالِهَا أَنَّ الأَذَى يُمَاطُ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ، وَوَجَدْتُ فِي مَسَاوِئِ أَعْمَالِهَا: النُّخَاعَةَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ لاَ تُدْفَنُ.

Musa narrated to us, saying: Mahdi narrated to us, from Wasil, from Yahya ibn ‘Aqil, from Yahya ibn Ya‘mar, from Abu al-Aswad al-Du’ali, from Abu Dharr, who said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: ‘The deeds of my community, both good and bad, were shown to me. Among their good deeds, I found the removal of harmful things from the road; among their bad deeds, I found phlegm in the mosque that is not buried.’

النُّخَاعَةَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ لاَ تُدْفَنُ.
نخاعة can refer to sputum or phlegm; the text says it is not buried, without specifying the means of disposal.
Review whether ‘phlegm’ or ‘spittle’ best conveys نخاعة in this context.
