414. Narrated Abū Saʿīd رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ saw sputum on (the wall of) the mosque in the direction of the Qiblah and scraped it off with gravel. Then he forbade spitting in front or on the right, but allowed it on one's left or under one's left foot.
414 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلّى الله عليه وسلم أَبْصَرَ نُخَامَةً فِي قِبْلَةِ المَسْجِدِ، فَحَكَّهَا بِحَصَاةٍ ثُمَّ «نَهَى أَنْ يَبْزُقَ الرَّجُلُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، أَوْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَلَكِنْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ، أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ اليُسْرَى» وَعَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، سَمِعَ حُمَيْدًا، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ نَحْوَهُ
