The one praying is in intimate conversation with his Lord, the Mighty and Majestic
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا صَلَّى يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ فَلاَ يَتْفِلَنَّ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، وَلَكِنْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ الْيُسْرَى ". لاَ يَتْفِلُ قُدَّامَهُ أَوْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، وَلَكِنْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ. لاَ يَبْزُقُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلاَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، وَلَكِنْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ. " لاَ يَبْزُقْ فِي الْقِبْلَةِ وَلاَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، وَلَكِنْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَوْ تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ ".

Translation
Anas ibn Malik reported: The Prophet ﷺ said, “When one of you prays, he is in intimate conversation with his Lord, so he must not spit to his right, but rather under his left foot.” … He should not spit in front of him or before him, but rather to his left or under his feet. … He should not spit before him nor to his right, but rather to his left or under his foot. … “He should not spit towards the qiblah nor to his right, but rather to his left or under his foot.”
Translator’s note: The parts after “…” are variant wordings from other transmissions: from Sa'id via Qatadah, from Shu'bah, and from Humayd via Anas from the Prophet ﷺ.

Enes b. Mâlik (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Nebî ﷺ şöyle buyurdu: “Biriniz namaz kıldığında Rabbiyle baş başa konuşur; bu yüzden asla sağına tükürmesin, sol ayağının altına tükürsün.” … Önüne ya da karşısına tükürmesin, soluna ya da ayaklarının altına tükürsün. … Karşısına ve sağına tükürmesin, soluna ya da ayağının altına tükürsün. … “Kıbleye doğru ve sağına tükürmesin, soluna ya da ayağının altına tükürsün.”
Translator’s note: “…” işaretlerinden sonraki kısımlar başka rivayetlerdeki farklı lafızlardır: Saîd'in Katâde'den, Şu'be'nin ve Humeyd'in Enes kanalıyla Nebî'den ﷺ rivayetleri.
