Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ وَابْنُ بَكْرٍ قَالَا أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي الْخُوَارِ أَنَّهُ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ مَعَ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ إِذْ مَرَّ بِهِمَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ خَتَنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ الرَّيَّانِ وَقَالَ ابْنُ بَكْرٍ ابْنِ الزَّبَّانِ فَدَعَاهُ نَافِعٌ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةٌ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ خَمْسَةٍ وَعِشْرِينَ صَلَاةً يُصَلِّيهَا وَحْدَهُ.
English Translation
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'If one of you is praying, let him not spit in front of him, for he is conversing with Allah as long as he is in his place of prayer. Let him not spit to his right, for on his right is an angel. Let him spit to his left or under his foot, and bury it.'
