Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَجْلَانَ حَدَّثَنِي عِيَاضُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُحِبُّ الْعَرَاجِينَ يُمْسِكُهَا فِي يَدِهِ فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَرَأَى نُخَامَةً فِي قِبْلَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَحَتَّهَا بِهِ حَتَّى أَنْقَاهَا.
English Translation
Yahya ibn Sa'id told us, Ibn Ajlan told us, Iyad ibn Abdullah told me, from Abu Sa'id, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, loved palm-branch stalks, holding them in his hand. He entered the mosque and saw phlegm on the qiblah wall of the mosque, so he scraped it off with it until he had cleaned it thoroughly.
