Narrated Ubadah ibn as-Samit: We came to Jabir ibn Abdullah who was sitting in his mosque. He said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to us in this mosque and he had a twig of date-palm of the kind of Ibn Tab. He looked and saw phlegm on the wall towards qiblah. He turned to it and scraped it with the twig. He then said: Who of you likes that Allah turns His face from him? He further said: When any of you stands for praying, Allah faces him. So he should not spit before him, nor on his right side. He should spit on his left side under his left foot. If he is in a hurry (i.e. forced to spit immediately), he should do with his cloth in this manner. He then placed the cloth on his mouth and rubbed it off. He then said: Bring perfume. A young man of the tribe stood and hurried to his house and returned with perfume in his palm. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) took it and put it at the end of the twig. He then stained the mark of phlegm with it. Jabir said: This is the reason you use perfume in your mosques

حدثنا يحيى بن الفضل السجستاني، وهشام بن عمار، وسليمان بن عبد الرحمن الدمشقيان، بهذا الحديث - وهذا لفظ يحيى بن الفضل السجستاني - قالوا حدثنا حاتم بن اسماعيل حدثنا يعقوب بن مجاهد ابو حزرة عن عبادة بن الوليد بن عبادة بن الصامت اتينا جابرا - يعني ابن عبد الله - وهو في مسجده فقال اتانا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في مسجدنا هذا وفي يده عرجون ابن طاب فنظر فراى في قبلة المسجد نخامة فاقبل عليها فحتها بالعرجون ثم قال " ايكم يحب ان يعرض الله عنه بوجهه " . ثم قال " ان احدكم اذا قام يصلي فان الله قبل وجهه فلا يبصقن قبل وجهه ولا عن يمينه وليبزق عن يساره تحت رجله اليسرى فان عجلت به بادرة فليقل بثوبه هكذا " . ووضعه على فيه ثم دلكه ثم قال " اروني عبيرا " . فقام فتى من الحى يشتد الى اهله فجاء بخلوق في راحته فاخذه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فجعله على راس العرجون ثم لطخ به على اثر النخامة . قال جابر فمن هناك جعلتم الخلوق في مساجدكم
