It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He saw phlegm stuck towards the Qibla in the mosque, so he turned towards the people and said: What is the matter with one of you that he stands facing his Lord and then spits as well? Would any one of you like that a man stands facing him and spits on his face? When any one of you wants to spit, he should spit to his left or towards his foot, and if there is no opportunity for that, then he should spit in his garment in this way.
