Hadith 1340
عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((إِذَا تَنَخَّمَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَلْيُغَيِّبْ نُخَامَتَهُ أَنْ تُصِيبَ جِلْدَ مُؤْمِنٍ أَوْ ثَوْبَهُ فَتُؤْذِيَهُ))
Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: When any of you spits or clears his throat in the mosque, he should conceal it, lest it may fall on the body or clothes of a believer and cause him harm.
Hadith 1341
عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَرَأَى فِي الْقِبْلَةِ نُخَامَةً، فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ: ((إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا صَلَّى فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَإِنَّهُ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَسْتَقْبِلُهُ بِوَجْهِهِ فَلَا يَتَنَخَّمَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الْقِبْلَةِ وَلَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ)) ثُمَّ دَعَا بِعُودٍ فَحَكَّهُ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِخَلُوقٍ فَحَضَبَهُ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was praying in the mosque when he saw some phlegm in the direction of the qiblah. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the prayer, he said: When any of you prays in the mosque, he is conversing with his Lord, and Allah, Blessed and Exalted, is before him. Therefore, none of you should spit in the direction of the qiblah or to his right side. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) called for a piece of wood, scraped it off, and then called for some perfume and applied it there.
Hadith 1342
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِذَا بَزَقَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَلْيَدْفِنْهُ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ فَلْيَبْزُقْ فِي ثَوْبِهِ))
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When any one of you spits in the mosque, he should bury it; if he cannot do so, then he should spit into his garment.
Hadith 1343
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى نُخَامَةً فِي قِبْلَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَحَكَّهَا بِحَصَاةٍ ثُمَّ نَهَى أَنْ يَبْصُقَ الرَّجُلُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ، وَقَالَ: ((لْيَبْصُقْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ الْيُسْرَى))
Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw some phlegm in the direction of the qiblah in the mosque and scraped it off with a pebble. Then he forbade a man from spitting in front of himself or to his right side, and said: A person should spit to his left side or beneath his left foot.
Hadith 1344
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عِيَاضُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُعْجِبُهُ الْعَرَاجِينُ أَنْ يُمْسِكَهَا بِيَدِهِ، فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَفِي يَدِهِ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهَا فَرَأَى نُخَامَاتٍ فِي قِبْلَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَحَتَّهَا بِهِ حَتَّى أَنْقَاهَا، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ مُغْضِبًا فَقَالَ: ((أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلَهُ رَجُلٌ فَيَبْصُقَ فِي وَجْهِهِ؟ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّمَا يَسْتَقْبِلُ رَبَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَالْمَلَكُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، فَلَا يَبْصُقْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، وَلْيَبْصُقْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ الْيُسْرَى أَوْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ، فَإِنْ عَجَّلَتْ بِهِ بَادِرَةٌ فَلْيَقُلْ هَٰكَذَا)) وَرَدَّ بَعْضَهُ عَلَى بَعْضٍ وَتَفَلَ يَحْيَى فِي ثَوْبِهِ وَدَلَكَهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) liked to hold date palm twigs in his hand. One day, he had such a twig in his hand when he entered the mosque. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw some phlegm in the direction of the qiblah in the mosque, so he scraped it off until he cleaned it. Then, turning to the people in a state of anger, he said: "Does any one of you like that a man should come and spit on his face?" (Consider that) when any of you stands for prayer, his Lord is in front of him and an angel is on his right side, (therefore) he should not spit in front of him or to his right, rather he should spit under his left foot or to his left side. If he is in a hurry, then he should do so in this manner." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) rubbed one part of his garment with another part. And the narrator of the hadith, Yahya, (explaining this example) spat into his garment and rubbed it.
Hadith 1345
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((النُّخَامَةُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ خَطِيئَةٌ وَكَفَّارَتُهَا دَفْنُهَا))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Spitting in the mosque is a sin, and its expiation is to bury it.
Hadith 1346
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّهُ مُنَاجٍ رَبَّهُ، فَلَا يَتْفُلَنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، قَالَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ: فَلَا يَتْفُلْ أَمَامَهُ وَلَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، وَلَكِنْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When any one of you is in prayer, he is whispering to his Lord, so no person should spit to his right side. The words of Ibn Ja'far's narration are: He should not spit in front of him or to his right side, but should spit to his left side or beneath his feet.
Hadith 1347
عَنْ أَبِي غَالِبٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((التَّفْلُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ سَيِّئَةٌ وَدَفْنُهَا حَسَنَةٌ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Spitting in the mosque is an evil, and burying it is a good deed.
Hadith 1348
عَنْ أَبِي سَهْلَةَ السَّائِبِ بْنِ خَلَّادٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَمَّ قَوْمًا فَبَسَقَ فِي الْقِبْلَةِ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْظُرُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ فَرَغَ: ((لَا يُصَلِّي لَكُمْ)) فَأَرَادَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ لَهُمْ فَمَنَعُوهُ وَأَخْبَرُوهُ بِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: ((نَعَمْ)) وَحَسِبْتُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: ((آذَيْتَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ))
Abu Sa‘d says that I saw Sayyiduna Wathilah bin Asqa‘ (may Allah be pleased with him) praying in the mosque of Damascus. He spat under his left foot and rubbed it with his foot. When he finished, I said: "You are among the companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and you are spitting in the mosque?" So Sayyiduna Wathilah (may Allah be pleased with him) replied that he had seen the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) doing the same.
Hadith 1349
عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ أُمَّتِي بِأَعْمَالِهَا حَسَنَةٍ وَسَيِّئَةٍ، فَرَأَيْتُ فِي مَحَاسِنِ أَعْمَالِهَا إِمَاطَةَ الْأَذَى عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ، وَرَأَيْتُ فِي سَيِّئِ أَعْمَالِهَا النُّخَاعَةَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ لَا تُدْفَنُ))
Sayyiduna Abu Sahla Sa’ib bin Khallad رضي الله عنه narrates that a man was leading the people in prayer while the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم was watching him. During the prayer, he spat in the direction of the qiblah. When he finished, the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم said: This person should not lead you in prayer again. Later, when he intended to lead the prayer, the people stopped him and informed him of the statement of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم. He mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم, and he صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم said to him: Yes, (I forbade you) because you have offended Allah Almighty.
Hadith 1350
عَنْ أَبِي سَعْدٍ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ وَاثِلَةَ بْنَ الْأَسْقَعِ يُصَلِّي فِي مَسْجِدِ دِمَشْقَ فَبَزَقَ تَحْتَ رِجْلِهِ الْيُسْرَى ثُمَّ عَرَكَهَا بِرِجْلِهِ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قُلْتُ: أَنْتَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَبْزُقُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ؟ قَالَ: هَٰكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَفْعَلُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: My Ummah was presented before me with their good and bad deeds. Among their good deeds, I saw the removal of something harmful from the road, and among their bad deeds, I saw spitting phlegm in the mosque without burying it.
Hadith 1351
عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: ((إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ فَلَا تَبْصُقْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَلَا عَنْ يَمِينِكَ، وَلَكِنِ ابْصُقْ تِلْقَاءَ شِمَالِكَ إِنْ كَانَ فَارِغًا، وَإِلَّا فَتَحْتَ قَدَمَيْكَ وَادْلُكْهُ))
Sayyiduna Tariq bin Abdullah narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When you pray, do not spit in front of you or to your right side; rather, spit to your left side, provided it is empty (i.e., there is no worshipper praying on that side). Otherwise, lift your foot and (spit beneath it and) rub it in.
