Chapter 2 · Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat)حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفَرَجُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ وَاثِلَةَ بْنَ الْأَسْقَعِ فِي مَسْجِدِ دِمَشْقَ بَصَقَ عَلَى الْبُورِيِّ، ثُمَّ مَسَحَهُ بِرِجْلِهِ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: لِمَ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا ؟ قَالَ: لِأَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَفْعَلُهُ .

I saw Wathilah ibn al-Asqa رضی اللہ عنہ in the mosque of Damascus. He spat at the mat and then rubbed it with his foot. He was asked: Why did you do so? He said: Because I saw the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم doing so.
