Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, “Do the prostration properly and do not put your fore-arms flat with elbows
touching the ground like a dog. And if you want to spit, do not spit in front, nor to the right for the
person in prayer is speaking in private to his Lord.”

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 1 > BOOK 9: VIRTUES OF THE PRAYER HALL (SUTRA OF THE MUSALLA)
I saw the most famous people amongst the companions of the Prophet hurrying towards the pil –
lars at the Maghrib prayer before the Prophet came for the prayer.

Volume 1, Book 8, Number 414:
Narrated Anas:
I found the Prophet in the mosque along with some people. He said to me, “Did Abu Talha send
you?” I said, “Yes”. He said, “For a meal?” I said, “Yes.” Then he said to his companions, “Get up.” They
set out and I was ahead of them.

Volume 1, Book 8, Number 420:
Narrated Anas:
When the Prophet arrived Medina he dismounted at ‘Awali-i-Medina amongst a tribe called Banu
‘Amr bin ‘Auf. He stayed there For fourteen nights. Then he sent for Bani An-Najjar and they came
armed with their swords. As if I am looking (just now) as the Prophet was sitting over his Rahila
(Mount) with Abu Bakr riding behind him and all Banu An-Najjar around him till he dismounted at
the courtyard of Abu Aiyub’s house. The Prophet loved to pray wherever the time for the prayer was
due even at sheep-folds. Later on he ordered that a mosque should be built and sent for some people
of Banu-An-Najjar and said, “O Banu An-Najjar! Suggest to me the price of this (walled) piece of
land of yours.” They replied, “No! By Allah! We do not demand its price except from Allah.” Anas ad –
ded: There were graves of pagans in it and some of it was unleveled and there were some date-palm
trees in it. The Prophet ordered that the graves of the pagans be dug out and the unleveled land be
level led and the date-palm trees be cut down . (So all that was done). They aligned these cut date-
palm trees towards the Qibla of the mosque (as a wall) and they also built two stone side-walls (of
the mosque). His companions brought the stones while reciting some poetic verses. The Prophet was

with them and he kept on saying, “There is no goodness except that of the Hereafter, O Allah! So
please forgive the Ansars and the emigrants. “

Volume 1, Book 8, Number 413:
Narrated Anas:
Some goods came to Allah’s Apostle from Bahrain. The Prophet ordered the people to spread them
in the mosque –it was the biggest amount of goods Allah’s Apostle had ever received. He left for
prayer and did not even look at it. After finishing the prayer, he sat by those goods and gave from
those to everybody he saw. Al-‘Abbas came to him and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! give me (something)
too, because I gave ransom for myself and ‘Aqil” Allah’s Apostle told him to take. So he stuffed his
garment with it and tried to carry it away but he failed to do so. He said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Order

someone to help me in lifting it.” The Prophet refused. He then said to the Prophet: Will you please
help me to lift it?” Allah’s Apostle refused. Then Al-‘Abbas threw some of it and tried to lift it (but
failed). He again said, “O Allah’s Apostle Order someone to help me to lift it.” He refused. Al-‘Abbas
then said to the Prophet: “Will you please help me to lift it?” He again refused. Then Al-‘Abbas threw
some of it, and lifted it on his shoulders and went away. Allah’s Apostle kept on watching him till he
disappeared from his sight and was astonished at his greediness. Allah’s Apostle did not get up till the
last coin was distributed.

Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, “None of you should spit in front or on his right but he could spit either on his
left or under his foot.”

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.”
