The reciter: Yahya ibn Yahya, Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah, and 'Amr al-Naqqad all narrated to us from Sufyan. Yahya said: Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah informed us from al-Zuhri from Humayd ibn 'Abd al-Rahman from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri: .
The Shaykh : His statement "on the qiblah" means on its wall. Muslim (may Allah have mercy on him) explained his statement "on the qiblah" to mean on the qiblah wall, just as it is the wording of Malik (may Allah have mercy on him).
That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a sparrow on the qiblah wall of the mosque, so he scraped it off with a pebble. Then he forbade a man to spit to his right or in front of him, but rather to spit to his left or under his left foot.
أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم رأى نخامة في قبلة المسجد فحكها بحصاة ثم نهى أن يبزق الرجل عن يمينه أو أمامه ولكن يبزق عن يساره أو تحت قدمه اليسرىThe Shaykh : His statement "on the qiblah" means on its wall. Muslim (may Allah have mercy on him) explained his statement "on the qiblah" to mean on the qiblah wall, just as it is the wording of Malik (may Allah have mercy on him).
