(قلت: هذا إسناد ضعيف؛ الفرج بن فضالة؛ قال المنذري في " مختصره ": " ضعيف ". وأبو سعيد- وهو الحِمْيرِيُ الحمصي- لا يُعْرفُ. ولذلك قال الحافظ العراقي: " والحديث لا يصح ")

484. Abū Sa'eed said: "I saw Wāṭilah bin Al-Asqa' spit upon a straw mat in the Masjid of Damascus, then rub it with his foot. He was asked: 'Why did you do this?' He replied: 'Because I saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ do it.'" (Da'if)
484 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفَرَجُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ وَاثِلَةَ بْنَ الْأَسْقَعِ، " فِي مَسْجِدِ دِمَشْقَ بَصَقَ عَلَى الْبُورِيِّ، ثُمَّ مَسَحَهُ بِرِجْلِهِ ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: لِمَ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا؟ قَالَ: لِأَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَفْعَلُهُ "

The narrations of this chapter stress the sanctity of the Masjid, and that one is not to spit in the Masjid, and that if one does that it must be removed, and that if the Masjid has a soft floor or the like, then it may be buried, and if it must be done during the Salāt then it should be done under the left foot.
