A Reminder on Some Important Issues, Including That the Muslim Should Always Be Eager to Remember Allah (Mighty and Majestic) through verbal remembrance and practical remembrance.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : A reminder of some issues, some of which concern each individual among them, and some of which concern their group when they sit in one of the houses of Allah to receive knowledge from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
As for the first issue, the Muslim should always be engaged in some form of remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), in some form of remembering the teachings of Allah (Mighty and Majestic); for His saying (Blessed and Exalted is He):[Al-Ahzab 33:41] includes practical remembrance, not just verbal remembrance. Practical remembrance—for example—a person is walking on the road and phlegm comes up in his mouth, so he wants to spit out this waste from his mouth, and he spits it in front of him as he is on his way. Here is a remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) that few people remember: before you spit out what is in your mouth, you must consider whether you are facing the qiblah or not. If you are facing the qiblah, you must not spit in front of you out of respect for the direction of the qiblah; because of his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): . This is one of the etiquettes of the early Muslims that has become forgotten among the later ones, so you hardly see a Muslim who remembers this Islamic etiquette, even if he is in the mosque. We have often seen some people in the mosque, where there are windows overlooking the direction of the qiblah, who come and spit in the direction they have prayed toward or will soon pray toward. This is negligence regarding the remembrance of Allah. But this is a type of remembrance that, unfortunately, the innovators of remembrance do not know, who dance in their dhikr and have not known of the remembrance of Allah except this type which has no basis in the Book of Allah or in the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
My intention in this reminder is not this specific issue, but its sister issue, which is more closely related to the one praying than this one; for if it is not permissible for a Muslim to spit toward the qiblah while he is walking or sitting, not standing facing Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in his prayer with all his limbs, then it is even more impermissible for him to spit toward the qiblah while he is praying. There are many hadiths on this matter, but we are not discussing them now.

remember Allah with much remembrance
اذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ ذِكْرًا كَثِيرًاWhoever spits toward the qiblah will come on the Day of Resurrection with his spittle between his eyes.
مَن بَصَقَ تجاه القبلة جاء ويوم القيامة وبصقُه بين عينيهMy intention in this reminder is not this specific issue, but its sister issue, which is more closely related to the one praying than this one; for if it is not permissible for a Muslim to spit toward the qiblah while he is walking or sitting, not standing facing Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in his prayer with all his limbs, then it is even more impermissible for him to spit toward the qiblah while he is praying.
