دَفْنِ النُّخَامَةِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ

Burying sputum in the mosque

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِذَا قَامَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ فَلاَ يَبْصُقْ أَمَامَهُ، فَإِنَّمَا يُنَاجِي اللَّهَ مَا دَامَ فِي مُصَلاَّهُ، وَلاَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، فَإِنَّ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ مَلَكًا، وَلْيَبْصُقْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ، فَيَدْفِنُهَا ".

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ هَمَّامٍ، سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ،

Translation

Abu Hurairah reported: The Prophet ﷺ said, “When one of you stands up for prayer, let him not spit in front of him, for he is conversing intimately with Allah as long as he is at his place of prayer; nor to his right, for on his right there is an angel. Let him spit to his left or under his foot, and then bury it.”

Abu Huraira berichtete: Der Prophet ﷺ sagte: „Wenn einer von euch zum Gebet aufsteht, soll er nicht vor sich spucken, denn er führt vertrauliche Zwiesprache mit Allah, solange er an seinem Gebetsplatz ist; und auch nicht zu seiner Rechten, denn zu seiner Rechten ist ein Engel. Er soll vielmehr zu seiner Linken oder unter seinen Fuß spucken und ihn dann vergraben.“

Türkçe

Ebû Hüreyre (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Nebî ﷺ şöyle buyurdu: “Biriniz namaza kalktığında önüne tükürmesin; çünkü namaz yerinde bulunduğu sürece Allah ile baş başa konuşmaktadır. Sağına da tükürmesin; çünkü sağında bir melek vardır. Soluna veya ayağının altına tükürsün ve onu gömsün.”
