وَأَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، أَنْبَأَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ، ثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَنْبَأَ هُشَيْمٌ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَلَا يَبْزُقَنَّ أَمَامَهُ، فَإِنَّهُ مُسْتَقْبِلٌ رَبَّهُ، وَلَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، وَلَكِنْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ الْيُسْرَى، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ فَلْيَبْزُقْ فِي نَاحِيَةِ ثَوْبِهِ، ثُمَّ يَرُدُّ ثَوْبَهُ بَعْضَهُ بِبَعْضٍ، قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ: كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَرُدُّ ثَوْبَهُ بَعْضَهُ بِبَعْضٍ

When one of you is in his prayer, let him not spit in front of him, for he is facing his Lord, nor to his right, but rather to his left or beneath his left foot. If he is unable, let him spit into a corner of his garment, then fold his garment over upon itself. Abū Hurayrah ؓ said: It is as though I am looking at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ folding his garment over upon itself.
