It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When one of you is in his prayer, let him never spit towards the qiblah, nor to his right, but rather under his left foot. If he is unable to do that, let him spit into a corner of his garment and then fold one part of it over the other." Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said (depicting this act): It is as if I am looking at the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) folding one part of his garment over the other.
