A man spitting to his right outside prayer, and how he should spit

Abu Ishaq says: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) used to dislike a man spitting to his right, even outside of prayer. Aban asked the narrator: "From whom did you report this?" He said: "From Abd al-Rahman bin Yazid, from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him)."

Ibn Awn says: Ibn Sirin had a blocked-up door on his left, and he would turn toward it and spit into it.

Mis'ar says that Sa'd bin Ibrahim said: "It is part of a man's good sense where he spits."

Abd al-Rahman bin Yazid says: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting facing the qiblah. He wanted to spit to his left, but that place was occupied, and he disliked spitting to his right.

Humayd bin Hilal says: One day Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) spat to his right, then said: "Ah, alas! Since I came into the company of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)," or he said: "since I accepted Islam, I have not done this."

Humayd bin Hilal says: Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) spat to his right during an illness he suffered, and he said: "I have never done this except once," or he said: "I have never done this other than this one time."
