Volume 1, Book 8, Number 405:

his foot.”
Volume 1, Book 8, Number 406:

one’s left foot.

Prophet said, “If anyone of you stands for prayer, he should not spit in front of him because in
prayer he is speaking in private to Allah and he should not spit on his right as there is an angel, but
he can spit either on his left or under his left foot and bury it (i.e. expectoration).”

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 1 > BOOK 8: PRAYERS (SALAT)
Volume 1, Book 8, Number 409:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet saw expectoration (on the wall of the mosque) in the direction of the Qibla and
scraped it off with his hand. It seemed that he disliked it and the sign of disgust was apparent from
his face. He said, “If anyone of you stands for the prayer, he is speaking in private to his Lord, (or) his
Lord is between him and his Qibla, therefore he should not spit towards his Qibla, but he could spit
either on his left or under his foot.” Then he took the corner of his sheet and spat in it, folded it and
said, “Or do like this.”
Volume 1, Book 8, Number 394:
Narrated ‘Abdullah:
The Prophet prayed (and the subnarrator Ibrahim said, “I do not know whether he prayed more or
less than usual”), and when he had finished the prayers he was asked, “O Allah’s Apostle! Has there
been any change in the prayers?” He said, “What is it?’ The people said, “You have prayed so much
and so much.” So the Prophet bent his legs, faced the Qibla and performed two prostrations (of Sahu)
and finished his prayers with Tasiim (by turning his face to right and left saying: ‘As-Sal –
amu’Alaikum-Warahmat-ullah’). When he turned his face to us he said, “If there had been anything
changed in the prayer, surely I would have informed you but I am a human being like you and liable
to forget like you. So if I forget remind me and if anyone of you is doubtful about his prayer, he
should follow what he thinks to be correct and complete his prayer accordingly and finish it and do
two prostrations (of Sahu).”
Volume 1, Book 8, Number 395:
Narrated ‘Umar (bin Al-Khattab):
My Lord agreed with me in three things:
1. I said,”O Allah’s Apostle, I wish we took the station of Abraham as our praying place (for some
of our prayers). So came the Divine Inspiration: And take you (people) the station of Abraham as a
place of prayer (for some of your prayers e.g. two Rakat of Tawaf of Ka’ba)”. (2.125)
2. And as regards the (verse of) the veiling of the women, I said, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! I wish you
ordered your wives to cover themselves from the men because good and bad ones talk to them.’ So
the verse of the veiling of the women was revealed.
3. Once the wives of the Prophet made a united front against the Prophet and I said to them, ‘It
may be if he (the Prophet) divorced you, (all) that his Lord (Allah) will give him instead of you wives
better than you.’ So this verse (the same as I had said) was revealed.” (66.5).
