حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ صَالِحٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ قَالَ صَلَّی بِنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةً ثُمَّ رَقِيَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَقَالَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَفِي الرُّکُوعِ إِنِّي لَأَرَاکُمْ مِنْ وَرَائِي کَمَا أَرَاکُمْ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 417
Narrated Anas: The Prophet saw expectoration (on the wall of the mosque) in the direction of the Qibla and scraped it off with his hand. It seemed that he disliked it and the sign of disgust was apparent from his face. He said, "If anyone of you stands for the prayer, he is speaking in private to his Lord, (or) his Lord is between him and his Qibla, therefore he should not spit towards his Qibla, but he could spit either on his left or under his foot." Then he took the corner of his sheet and spat in it, folded it and said, "Or do this."
