Sunan Nasai 728 — With Which Foot Should He Rub (His Spittle)?
أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ ، قال : أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قال : رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " تَنَخَّعَ فَدَلَكَهُ بِرِجْلِهِ الْيُسْرَى " .
´It was narrated from Abu Al-'Ala' bin Ash-Shikhir that his father said:` "I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) spit and then rub it with his left foot."

أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ،
وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ،

Spitting, phlegm, and nasal discharge do not invalidate the prayer, and on soft ground, a person should rub it away with his left foot.
