308 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «أَخَذَ طَرَفَ رِدَائِهِ فَبَصَقَ فِيهِ فَرَدَّ بَعْضَهُ عَلَى بَعْضٍ»

Commentary
1. The objective of the chapter is to demonstrate that the saliva is pure. There is a weak report that the saliva becomes impure after exiting from the mouth, but this is unproven. 2. Spitting into a piece of cloth and squeezing it up and rubbing it is a refined way of spitting in a gathering. Filth does not spread and one does not appear uncivilized.
