Sahih al-Bukhari 405 (Book 8, Hadith 57) #401
Respect for the Qibla

SUMMARY: This hadith explains the importance of respecting the Qibla and not spitting in its direction.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet saw some sputum in the direction of the Qibla (on the wall of the mosque) and he disliked that and the sign of disgust was apparent from his face. So he got up and scraped it off with his hand and said, "Whenever anyone of you stands for the prayer, he is speaking in private to his Lord or his Lord is between him and his Qibla. So, none of you should spit in the direction of the Qibla but one can spit to the left or under his foot". The Prophet then took the corner of his sheet and spat in it and folded it and said, "Or you can do this".
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ رَأَى نُخَامَةً فِي الْقِبْلَةِ، فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى رُئِيَ فِي وَجْهِهِ، فَقَامَ فَحَكَّهُ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا قَامَ فِي صَلاَتِهِ، فَإِنَّهُ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ ـ أَوْ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ ـ فَلاَ يَبْزُقَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ قِبَلَ قِبْلَتِهِ، وَلَكِنْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ، أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ ‏"‏‏.‏ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ طَرَفَ رِدَائِهِ فَبَصَقَ فِيهِ، ثُمَّ رَدَّ بَعْضَهُ عَلَى بَعْضٍ، فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَوْ يَفْعَلْ هَكَذَا

QUICK LESSONS:
Pray facing towards qiblah with respect , Use a piece of cloth if needed while praying , Follow instructions given by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ .

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us to respect the Qibla, which is a direction that Muslims face when they pray. He said that when we are praying, it is like we are speaking privately to Allah and He is between us and our Qibla. Therefore, it is disrespectful to spit in this direction. Instead, he suggested that we can spit on our left side or under our feet. Alternatively, he showed us how to use a piece of cloth by spitting into it and folding it up afterwards. This hadith teaches us about respecting Allah's house by not doing anything disrespectful while inside of it such as spitting in the wrong direction or making noise during prayer time. It also shows us how important cleanliness is during prayer time so that we can focus on worshipping Allah without any distractions around us.
