Sayyiduna Sa’ib bin Khallad (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man was leading his people in prayer. He spat in the direction of the qiblah. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was watching him. After he finished, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He has not led you in prayer. After that, when the man intended to lead them in prayer, the people stopped him and informed him about the statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He mentioned this to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so he said: Yes. (The narrator says) I think the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: "You have caused harm to Allah, the Exalted."
