Is it permissible for one to look around in Ṣalāt (prayer) if something happens to one? Or can one look at something like expectoration in the direction of the Qiblah?

English translation

753. Narrated Ibn ‘Umar رضي الله عنهما: The Prophet ﷺ saw expectoration in the direction of the Qiblah of the mosque while he was leading Aṣ-Ṣalāt (the prayer), and scratched it off. After finishing the Salāt (prayer), he said, "Whenever any of you is in Salāt (prayer) he should know that Allāh is in front of him. So none should spit in front of him during the Salāt (prayer)."

753 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ: أَنَّهُ قَالَ: رَأَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نُخَامَةً فِي قِبْلَةِ المَسْجِدِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي بَيْنَ يَدَيِ النَّاسِ، فَحَتَّهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ حِينَ انْصَرَفَ: «إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا كَانَ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قِبَلَ وَجْهِهِ، فَلاَ يَتَنَخَّمَنَّ أَحَدٌ قِبَلَ وَجْهِهِ فِي الصَّلاَةِ» رَوَاهُ مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ، وَابْنُ أَبِي رَوَّادٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ
