EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that spitting in the mosque is a sin and its expiation is to bury it. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us this lesson so that we can keep our mosques clean and free from any kind of dirt or filth. We should remember this lesson when we visit mosques so that we can maintain their sanctity and respect them as places of worship. Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us about repentance for our sins; if we commit a sin then there are ways to repent for it such as burying what was spat out in the mosque. This shows us how important repentance is for Muslims and how Allah will forgive those who sincerely repent for their sins.
