Hadith #207
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ و
َسَلَّمَ فِي الْقِبْلَةِ نُخَامَةً فَأَخَذَ عُودًا أَوْ حَصَاةً فَحَكَّهَا بِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِذَا قَامَ أَحَدُكُمْ يُصَلِّي فَلَا يَبْصُقْ فِي قِبْلَتِهِ فَإِنَّمَا يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى

English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما) — via Yazid, from Muhammad, from Nafi' — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw phlegm [nakhama] in the direction of the qibla [in the mosque] and took a stick — or a pebble — and scraped it off. Then he said: 'When one of you stands to pray, let him not spit in the direction of his qibla — for he is in private communion with his Lord (تبارك وتعالى).'
