أَبْوَابُ صِفَةِ الصَّلَاةِ

Chapter 94

(94) Chapter. Is it permissible for one to look around in Salat (prayer) if something happens to one? Or can one look at something like expectoration in the direction of the Qiblah?

94- بَابُ هَلْ يَلْتَفِتُ لأَمْرٍ يَنْزِلُ بِهِ أَوْ يَرَى شَيْئًا أَوْ بُصَاقًا فِي الْقِبْلَةِ:

English narration

Narrated by نافع مولى ابن عمر

The Prophet (ﷺ) saw expectoration in the direction of the Qibla of the mosque while he was leading the prayer, and scratched it off. After finishing the prayer, he said, "Whenever any of you is in prayer he should know that Allah is in front of him. So none should spit in front of him in the prayer."

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : رَأَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نُخَامَةً فِي قِبْلَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي بَيْنَ يَدَيِ النَّاسِ ، فَحَتَّهَا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ حِينَ انْصَرَفَ : "

إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا كَانَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قِبَلَ وَجْهِهِ ، فَلَا يَتَنَخَّمَنَّ أَحَدٌ قِبَلَ وَجْهِهِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ

" ، رَوَاهُ مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ ، وَابْنُ أَبِي رَوَّادٍ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ .
