Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " اعْتَدِلُوا فِي السُّجُودِ، وَلاَ يَبْسُطْ ذِرَاعَيْهِ كَالْكَلْبِ، وَإِذَا بَزَقَ فَلاَ يَبْزُقَنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلاَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، فَإِنَّهُ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ ".
Translation
Hafs bin ‘Umar narrated to us: Yazid bin Ibrahim narrated to us: Qatada narrated to us, from Anas, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: ‘Keep your bodies balanced in prostration, and do not spread your forearms like a dog. When you spit, do not spit in front of you or to your right, for you are speaking privately with your Lord.’
