حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ حَبِيبِ بْنِ عَرَبِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ عِيَاضِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کَانَ يُحِبُّ الْعَرَاجِينَ وَلَا يَزَالُ فِي يَدِهِ مِنْهَا فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَرَأَی نُخَامَةً فِي قِبْلَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَحَکَّهَا ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَی النَّاسِ مُغْضَبًا فَقَالَ أَيَسُرُّ أَحَدَکُمْ أَنْ يُبْصَقَ فِي وَجْهِهِ إِنَّ أَحَدَکُمْ إِذَا اسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ فَإِنَّمَا يَسْتَقْبِلُ رَبَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَالْمَلَکُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فَلَا يَتْفُلْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَلَا فِي قِبْلَتِهِ وَلْيَبْصُقْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ فَإِنْ عَجِلَ بِهِ أَمْرٌ فَلْيَقُلْ هَکَذَا وَوَصَفَ لَنَا ابْنُ عَجْلَانَ ذَلِکَ أَنْ يَتْفُلَ فِي ثَوْبِهِ ثُمَّ يَرُدَّ بَعْضَهُ عَلَی بَعْضٍ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 480
Abu Saeed Al-khudri said: The Prophet ﷺ liked the twigs of the date-palm, and he often had one of them in his hand. He entered the mosque and saw phlegm in the wall towards qiblah and he scraped it. He then turned towards people in anger and said: Is any one of you is pleased to spit in his face? When any of you faces qiblah, he indeed faces his Lord, the Majestic the Glorious: the angels are at right side. Therefore, he should not spit on his right side or before him towards qiblah. He should spit towards his left side or beneath his foot. If he is in a hurry, he should do so-and-so. Describing it Ibn ‘Ajlan said: He should spit in his cloth and fold a part of it over the other.
