English translation

762. It was narrated from Anas that the Prophet ﷺ saw some sputum in the prayer direction of the mosque and he became so angry that his face turned red. Then a woman from among the Ansâr came and scraped it off, and put some Khaluq[1] on that spot. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "How good this is." (Dai'f)

Arabic text

762 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَرِيفٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَائِذُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، رَأَى نُخَامَةً فِي قِبْلَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ، فَغَضِبَ حَتَّى احْمَرَّ وَجْهُهُ، فَجَاءَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَحَكَّتْهَا، وَجَعَلَتْ مَكَانَهَا خَلُوقًا " فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا أَحْسَنَ هَذَا»

Commentary

It is permissible to express anger on seeing someone doing something abominable. Sometimes, mere facial expressions may serve the purpose of admonition. It is permissible to give words of praise or appreciation to someone who has done something good. Both praise and punishment, whether in the form of a few words or through some other opportune method, are the recognized tools of education.
