It is narrated from Saʾib ibn Khallad (May Allah be pleased with him), who was one of the Companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him), that a man led his people in prayer and spat towards the Qiblah while the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was watching. When he finished, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said to his people: "He shall not lead you in prayer." Later, when he wished to lead them again, they prevented him and informed him of the Messenger of Allah’s words. The man then mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), and he said: "Yes," and I think he also said: "Indeed, you have offended Allah and His Messenger."
