Hadith #46561
عن أنس رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم :
"البصاق في المسجد خطيئة، وكفارتها دفنها" ((متفق عليه)). والمرادُ بِدَفْنِهَا إذَا كَانَ المَسْجِدُ تُرَابًا أوْ رَمْلًا ونَحْوَهُ فَيُوَارِيهَا تَحْتَ تُرَابِهِ. قالَ أبُو المحاسِنِ الرُّويَانِي مِنْ أصحابِنا في كِتَابِهِ (البحر) وقِيلَ: المُرَادُ بِدَفْنِهَا إخْراجُهَا مِنَ المَسْجِدِ، أمَّا إِذَا كَانَ المَسْجِدُ مُبَلَّطًا أَوْ مُجَصَّصًا، فَدَلَكَهَا عَلَيْهِ بِمَدَاسِهِ أَوْ بِغَيْرِهِ كَمَا يَفْعَلُهُ كَثيرٌ مِنَ الجُهَّالِ، فَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِدَفْنٍ، بَلْ زِيَادَةٌ فِي الخَطِيئَةِ وَتَكْثِيرٌ لِلقَذَرِ في المَسْجِدِ، وَعَلَى مَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ أنْ يَمْسَحَهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِثَوْبِهِ أَوْ بِيَدِهِ أَوْ غَيرِهِ أَوْ يَغْسِلَهُ.
On the authority of Anas, may God be pleased with him, that the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: “Spitting in the mosque is a sin, and its expiation is burying it” ((Agreed upon)). What is meant is burying it if the mosque is dirt or sand and the like. So he hides her under his dirt. Abu Al-Mahasin Al-Ruwani, one of our companions, said in his book (Al-Bahr), and it was said: What is meant is burying her. Taking it out of the mosque, but if the mosque is paved or plastered, then rub it on it with a tread or something else, as many ignorant people do. This is not a burial, but rather an increase in sin and an increase in filth in the mosque, and whoever did that must wipe it after that. With his clothes, his hand, something else, or by washing him.
