3683. It was narrated from Abu Dharr that the Prophet ﷺ said: "My nation was shown to me with their good deeds and bad deeds. Among their good deeds I saw a harmful thing being removed from the road. And among their bad deeds I saw sputum in the mosque that had not been removed." (Sahih)
3683 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ، عَنْ وَاصِلٍ، مَوْلَى أَبِي عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْمَرَ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ أُمَّتِي بِأَعْمَالِهَا حَسَنِهَا وَسَيِّئِهَا، فَرَأَيْتُ فِي مَحَاسِنِ أَعْمَالِهَا: الْأَذَى يُنَحَّى عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ، وَرَأَيْتُ فِي سَيِّئِ أَعْمَالِهَا: النُّخَاعَةَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ لَا تُدْفَنُ "

a. Any act that benefits people or protects them from harm is a good deed (provided it does not contradict any ruling in Islam). b. Nowadays, if one needs to spit in the mosque he has to go and clean himself at lavatories or should use a handkerchief and wash it later.
