حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى نُخَامَةً فِي الْقِبْلَةِ، فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى رُئِيَ فِي وَجْهِهِ، فَقَامَ فَحَكَّهُ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا قَامَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ، فَإِنَّهُ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ أَوْ إِنَّ رَبَّهُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَلَا 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»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) 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 (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) then took the corner of his sheet and spat in it and folded it and said, “Or you can do this.”

আনাস ইবনু মালিক (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত যে, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম ক্বিবলা (কিবলা/কেবলা)হর দিকে (দেয়ালে) ‘কফ’ দেখলেন। এটা তাঁর নিকট কষ্টদায়ক মনে হলো। এমনকি তাঁর চেহারায় তা ফুটে উঠলো। তিনি উঠে গিয়ে তা হাত দিয়ে পরিষ্কার করলেন।

অতঃপর তিনি বললেনঃ তোমাদের কেউ যখন সালাতে দাঁড়ায় তখন সে তার রবের সাথে একান্তে কথা বলে। অথবা বলেছেন, তার ও ক্বিবলা (কিবলা/কেবলা)হর মাঝখানে তার রব আছেন। কাজেই, তোমাদের কেউ যেন ক্বিবলা (কিবলা/কেবলা)হর দিকে থুথু না ফেলে। বরং সে যেন তার বাম দিকে অথবা পায়ের নীচে তা ফেলে। অতঃপর চাদরের আঁচল নিয়ে তাতে তিনি থুথু ফেললেন এবং তার এক অংশকে অন্য অংশের উপর ভাঁজ করলেন এবং বললেনঃ অথবা সে এমন করবে। (২৪১; মুসলিম ৫/১৩, হাঃ ৫৫১, আহমাদ ১২৮০৯)

ہم سے قتیبہ نے بیان کیا کہ کہا ہم سے اسماعیل بن جعفر نے حمید کے واسطہ سے، انہوں نے انس بن مالک رضی اللہ عنہ سے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے قبلہ کی طرف ( دیوار پر ) بلغم دیکھا، جو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو ناگوار گزرا اور یہ ناگواری آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے چہرہ مبارک پر دکھائی دینے لگی۔

پھر آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم اٹھے اور خود اپنے ہاتھ سے اسے کھرچ ڈالا اور فرمایا کہ جب کوئی شخص نماز کے لیے کھڑا ہوتا ہے تو گویا وہ اپنے رب کے ساتھ سرگوشی کرتا ہے، یا یوں فرمایا کہ اس کا رب اس کے اور قبلہ کے درمیان ہوتا ہے۔ اس لیے کوئی شخص ( نماز میں اپنے ) قبلہ کی طرف نہ تھوکے۔

البتہ بائیں طرف یا اپنے قدموں کے نیچے تھوک سکتا ہے۔ پھر آپ نے اپنی چادر کا کنارہ لیا، اس پر تھوکا پھر اس کو الٹ پلٹ کیا اور فرمایا، یا اس طرح کر لیا کرو۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Qutaibah] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Isma'il bin Ja'far] dari [Humaid] dari [Anas bin Malik] bahwa Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam melihat ada dahak di dinding kiblat, beliau lalu merasa jengkel hingga nampak tersirat pada wajahnya. Kemudian beliau menggosoknya dengan tangannya seraya bersabda: "Jika seseorang dari kalian berdiri shalat sesungguhnya dia sedang berhadapan dengan Rabbnya, atau sesungguhnya Rabbnya berada antara dia dan kiblat, maka janganlah dia meludah ke arah kiblat, tetapi lakukanlah ke arah kirinya atau di bawah kaki (kirinya)."

Kemudian Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam memegang tepi kainnya dan meludah di dalamnya, setelah itu beliau membalik posisi kainnya lalu berkata, atau beliau melakukan seperti ini

Enes İbn Mâlik'ten şöyle nakledilmiştir: "Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem mescidin kıble istikametindeki duvarında balgam gördü. Bundan dolayı rahatsız oldu. Hatta canının sıkıldığı, simasından belli oluyordu.

Hemen kalktı eliyle onu kazıdı ve sonra şöyle buyurdu: "içinizden biri namaz'a durduğu zaman bilsin ki, Rabbine münacatta bulunuyor demektir (veya Rabbi kıble ile onun arasındadır). O halde, hiç kimse kıble istikametine tükürmesin. Mecbur kalırsa soluna veya ayaklarını bastığı yere tükürsün." Sonra ridasınin bir ucunu tutup içine tükürüp katladı ve şöyle buyurdu: Ya da, böyle yapsın

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) saw mucus on the wall of the mosque toward the prayer direction. This was difficult for him to bear and he got noticeably upset. So he stood up and scraped the mucus off with his noble hand. In doing so, he was teaching his community to be humble toward Allah and to respect His house. The Prophet noted that when someone stands to pray, he communicates with Allah, mentions His name, and recites His revelation.

So the appropriate thing to do is to be humble and to fully concentrate. Also, one has to remember the greatness of Allah and avoid inappropriate manners, including spitting in the direction of the prayer. If one needs to do so, he may spit in a handkerchief or so. In the prayer, one should feel that he is meeting Allah, the Most High, so one has to turn to Allah with complete devotion.

Even though Allah is in the heavens above His throne, He is in front of the person praying, because He encompasses everything: {There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing} [Sūrat Ash-Shūra: 11]. This does not mean that Allah mixes with people or that He is in the place where one prays. Allah is close to those who pray to Him and those who supplicate to Him.

His nearness befits His majesty; no human assimilation is at all contemplated. To make this point relevant, the sun is above us, but is also in front of us when it rises and when it sets.
