It is narrated from Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) saw phlegm in the direction of the Qiblah, and it distressed him so much that it became visible on his face. He stood up and scraped it off with his hand, then said: "When one of you stands in prayer, he is indeed conversing with his Lord, and his Lord is between him and the Qiblah, so let none of you spit in the direction of the Qiblah, but rather to his left or under his foot." Then he took the edge of his garment, spat in it, folded it over, and said: "Or do like this."
