English translation

725. It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ saw some sputum on the Qiblah wall. He scraped it off then he turned to the people and said: "When any one of you is praying, let him not spit in front of him, for Allâh is in front of him when he prays." (Sahîh)

Arabic text

724 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى بُصَاقًا فِي جِدَارِ الْقِبْلَةِ فَحَكَّهُ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ: «إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ يُصَلِّي فَلَا يَبْصُقَنَّ قِبَلَ وَجْهِهِ؛ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قِبَلَ وَجْهِهِ إِذَا صَلَّى»

Commentary

In prayer, the worshipper converses with Allāh Most High; and the One to Whom one converses happens to be in front of him. This shows the greatness of the direction of the Qiblah.
