حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ، عَنْ طَارِقِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمُحَارِبِيِّ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِذَا كُنْتَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلَا تَبْزُقْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ ، وَلَكِنْ خَلْفَكَ أَوْ تِلْقَاءَ شِمَالِكَ ، أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِكَ الْيُسْرَى " . قَالَ : وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، وَابْنِ عُمَرَ ، وَأَنَسٍ ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَحَدِيثُ طَارِقٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ ، قَالَ : وسَمِعْت الْجَارُودَ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ وَكِيعًا ، يَقُولُ : لَمْ يَكْذِبْ رِبْعِيُّ بْنُ حِرَاشٍ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ كَذْبَةً . قَالَ : وقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ : أَثْبَتُ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ مَنْصُورُ بْنُ الْمُعْتَمِرِ .

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
Spitting in front during prayer is contrary to proper etiquette.
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) expressed strong displeasure regarding this.
See: (Sunan Ibn Majah, Al-Masajid wal-Jama'at, Chapter: Dislike of Spitting in the Mosque, Hadith: 761 to 764)
➋
The right side is also a direction of respect, so one should not spit in that direction either.
If another worshipper is standing on the left side, then one should also avoid spitting in that direction; if there is no one there, then spitting is permissible.
➌
In the mosque, spitting to the left or under one’s foot is permissible in the case where the ground of the mosque is of such a type that it can absorb moisture; otherwise, it is not permissible to pollute the mosque.
Especially when one is praying on a mat or carpet, it is not permissible under any circumstance to make it dirty.
In such a case, a handkerchief should be used, as is clarified in the following hadith.
