(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا
حُمَيْدٌ ، عَنْ
أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : رَأَى نُخَامَةً فِي قِبْلَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَشَقَّ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى عُرِفَ ذَاكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ ، فَحَكَّهُ ، وَقَالَ : " إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ أَوْ الْمَرْءَ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ ، فَإِنَّهُ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَوْ رَبَّهُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَلْيَبْزُقْ ، إِذَا بَزَقَ ، عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ " وَأَوْمَأَ هَكَذَا ، كَأَنَّهُ فِي ثَوْبِهِ ، قَالَ : وَكُنَّا نَقُولُ لِحُمَيْدٍ : فَيَقُولُ : سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ ! مَنْ هُوَ ؟ يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَلَا يَزِيدُنَا عَلَيْهِ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw some spittle on the direction of the qiblah in the mosque. This thing was so hard on the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that signs of displeasure became evident on his blessed face. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cleaned it and said that when a person stands for prayer, he is conversing with his Lord, so he should spit to his left side or under his foot, and he indicated in such a way that he should take it in his cloth and rub it.
