481. Abū Sahlāh As-Sāʿib bin Khallād — Aḥmad (one of the narrators said) — one of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ — said that once a person led a group of people in prayer, and (while in prayer he) spat in the direction of the Qiblah while the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was looking (at him). When he completed (the prayer), the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "He should not lead you in prayer." So he wished after that to lead them in prayer, but they prevented him, and informed him of the statement of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. The man mentioned this to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, so he said: "Yes..." and I think he also said: "...you have offended Allāh and His Messenger." (Hasan)

481 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ سَوَادَةَ الْجُذَامِيِّ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ خَيْوَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَهْلَةَ السَّائِبِ بْنِ خَلَّادٍ - قَالَ أَحْمَدُ: مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَمَّ قَوْمًا، فَبَصَقَ فِي الْقِبْلَةِ، وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْظُرُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ فَرَغَ: «لَا يُصَلِّي لَكُمْ»، فَأَرَادَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ لَهُمْ فَمَنَعُوهُ وَأَخْبَرُوهُ بِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «نَعَمْ»، وَحَسِبْتُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «إِنَّكَ آذَيْتَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ»
