حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَأَى نُخَامَةً فِي قِبْلَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَتَغَيَّظَ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْمَسْجِدِ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قِبَلَ أَحَدِكُمْ، فَإِذَا كَانَ فِي صَلاَتِهِ، فَلاَ يَبْزُقَنَّ ـ أَوْ قَالَ ـ لاَ يَتَنَخَّمَنَّ ‏"‏‏.‏ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَحَتَّهَا بِيَدِهِ‏.‏ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ إِذَا بَزَقَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَبْزُقْ عَلَى يَسَارِهِ‏.‏

Translation

Sulayman ibn Harb narrated to us; Hammad narrated to us, from Ayyub, from Nafi', from Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both): The Prophet (ﷺ) saw sputum in the direction of the mosque's qiblah. He became angry with the people of the mosque and said: ‘Allah is before each of you. When one of you is praying, let him not spit—or, he said, expectorate.’ Then he went down and scraped it away with his hand. Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: ‘When one of you spits, let him spit to his left.’
