It was
narrated that ‘Abdullah said: “We would greet others during
the
prayer, and it was said to us: ‘During the prayer one is
preoccupied.’”

It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amir bin Rabi’ah that his father
said: “We were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on a journey, and
the
sky was overcast so it was difficult for us to determine the
Qiblah.
So we performed prayer, and we marked the location.* Later,
when the
sun reappeared, we realized that we had prayed facing a
direction
other than the Qiblah. We mentioned that to the Prophet
(ﷺ), then
the Words were revealed: ‘So wherever you turn there is
the Face of
Allah.’” [2:115]

It was
narrated that Tariq bin ‘Abdullah Al-Muharibi said: “The
Prophet
(ﷺ) said: ‘When you perform prayer, do not spit in front of
you
or to your right, but spit to your left or beneath your feet.’”

It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
saw some
sputum in the direction of the Qiblah of the mosque. He
turned to the
people and said: “What is wrong with one of you that he
stands
facing Him (meaning his Lord) and spits in front of Him? Would
anyone
like to be faced by someone who spits in his face? If anyone of
you
needs to spit, then let him spit to his left, or let him do like
this
in his garment.” Then Ismail (Abu Bakr bin Abu Shuaibah) showed me how he spat in his garment then rubbed it.

It was
narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said: “It was said to the Prophet
(ﷺ):
‘The left side of the mosque has been abandoned. The Prophet
(ﷺ)
said: “Whoever frequents the left side of the mosque, two Kifl*
of
reward will be recorded for him.”

It was
narrated from Hudhaifah that he saw Shabath bin Rib’i spitting
in
front of him. He said: “O Shabath! Do not spit in front of you, for
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to forbid that, and he said: ‘When
a
man stands up to perform prayer, Allah turns His Face towards him
until he turns away or he commits an evil Hadath.’”* * In Injah Al-Hajah, ‘Abdul-Ghani Dehlawi said: “Meaning he does a matter that negates
the Khushu'(submissiveness) and attentiveness of his prayer. Or, the meaning of
Hadath is invalidating the ablution. The only reason that he described it as ‘evil’ is
because in most cases, its occurrence during prayer is from Shaitan.”

It was
narrated that Jabir said: “When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
finished Tawaf around the House (the Ka’bah), he came to Maqam of
Ibrahim (the Station of Ibrahim). ‘Umar said: ‘O Messenger of
Allah,
this is the Station of our father Ibrahim about which Allah
said: “And
take you (people) the Maqam of Ibrahim as a place of
prayer.’” [2:125]

It was
narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
spat
on his garment while he was performing prayer, then he rubbed it.

It was
narrated that Anas bin Malik told that ‘Umar said: “I said: ‘O
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), why do you not take the Maqam of Ibrahim as
a place of prayer?’ Then the following was revealed: ‘And take
you
(people) the Maqam of Ibrahim as a place of prayer.’” [2:125]

It was
narrated that Abu Hurairah said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“Whoever smoothes the pebbles, then he has engaged in Laghw.”* *Meaning he has done what is not suitable.
