Sayyiduna Abu Wa'il رضي الله عنه narrates that when Shaith bin Rabi'i prayed standing next to Sayyiduna Hudhayfah رضي الله عنه, he spat in front of himself. Sayyiduna Hudhayfah رضي الله عنه said: Indeed, the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم forbade us from this and said, "When a person begins prayer, Allah Almighty turns towards him with His noble face and does not turn away from the worshipper until he himself becomes inattentive to Allah Almighty or his ablution breaks."
