Narrator:Abu Hurayrah

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ مِهْرَانَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏

"‏ إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلاَ يَبْزُقْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلاَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَلَكِنْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ وَإِلاَّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَبَزَقَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم هَكَذَا فِي ثَوْبِهِ وَدَلَكَهُ ‏.‏

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:

"When any one of you prays, let him not spit in front of him or to his right, rather let him spit to his left or beneath his feet." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) spat like this on his garment and rubbed it.

قَوْله ( فَلَا يَبْزُق ) بَزَقَ كَبَصَقَ كِلَاهُمَا مِنْ بَاب نَصَرَ ( بَيْن يَدَيْهِ ) عَظِيمًا لِجِهَةِ الْقِبْلَة ( وَلَا عَنْ يَمِينه ) تَعْظِيمًا لِمَلَكِ الْحَسَنَات سِيَّمَا فِي الصَّلَاة الَّتِي هِيَ مِنْ عِظَام الْحَسَنَات ( وَإِلَّا فَبَزَقَ ) وَإِنْ لَمْ يَفْعَل ذَلِكَ فَلْيَفْعَلْ كَمَا فَعَلَ النَّبِيّ صَلَّى اللَّه تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَدْ بَزَقَ صَلَّى اللَّه تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الثَّوْب ثُمَّ رَدَّ بَعْضه عَلَى بَعْض.…
