Musnad Abi Ya'la 993 — the Prophet ﷺ liked (dry) date-palm stalks
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيَاضُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُعْجِبُهُ الْعَرَاجِينُ يُمْسِكُهَا بِيَدِهِ ، فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ يَوْمًا ، وَفِي يَدِهِ مِنْهَا وَاحِدَةٌ ، فَرَأَى نُخَامَاتٍ فِي قِبْلَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَحَتَّهُنَّ بِهِ حَتَّى أَنْقَاهُنَّ ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ مُغْضَبًا ، فَقَالَ : أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلَهُ الرَّجُلُ فَيَبْصُقَ فِي وَجْهِهِ ؟ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّمَا يَسْتَقْبِلُ رَبَّهُ ، وَالْمَلَكُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ ، فَلَا يَبْصُقْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ ، وَلَكِنْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ الْيُسْرَى ، فَإِنْ عَجِلَتْ بِهِ بَادِرَةٌ فَلْيَتْفُلْ هَكَذَا وَتَفَلَ يَحْيَى فِي ثَوْبِهِ ، وَرَدَّ بَعْضَهُ عَلَى بَعْضٍ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) liked (dry) date-palm stalks and used to hold them in his hand. One day he (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the mosque with one of them in his hand, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) saw traces of phlegm on the qiblah (wall) of the mosque, so he scraped them off with it until he had cleaned them. Then he turned to the people in a state of anger and said: "Would any of you like a man to come in front of him and spit in his face? When one of you stands for prayer, he is facing his Lord, and the angel is on his right; so let him not spit in front of him nor to his right, but to his left or under his left foot. And if spittle comes to him suddenly, let him do like this." (The narrator) Yahya (may Allah have mercy on him) spat into his garment and rubbed it together to demonstrate.
