شَرْحُ رِيَاضِ الصَّالِحِينَ مِنْ كَلَامِ سَيِّدِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

An explanation of Riyadh as-Salihin based on the words of the Master of the Messengers, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.

وَفِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ دَلِيلٌ عَلَى أَنَّ النُّخَامَةَ لَيْسَتْ نَجِسَةً؛ لِأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَمَرَ أَنْ يَبْصُقَ الْمُصَلِّي تَحْتَ قَدَمِهِ أَوْ فِي ثَوْبِهِ، وَلَوْ كَانَتْ نَجِسَةً مَا أَذِنَ لَهُ أَنْ يَبْصُقَ فِي ثَوْبِهِ، وَفِيهِ التَّعْلِيمُ بِالْفِعْلِ؛ لِقَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ: «أَوْ يَقُولُ هَكَذَا، وَبَصَقَ فِي ثَوْبِهِ وَحَكَ بَعْضَهُ بِبَعْضٍ».

This hadith provides evidence that phlegm is not impure. The Prophet, peace be upon him, instructed those praying to spit under their feet or into their garments; had it been impure, he would not have permitted spitting into one's clothing. It also demonstrates teaching by example, as shown when the Prophet said, "Or he does this," and proceeded to spit into his garment and rub the fabric together.

وَفِيهِ أَيْضًا: إِطْلَاقُ الْقَوْلِ عَلَى الْفِعْلِ فِي قَوْلِهِ: «أَنْ يَقُولَ هَكَذَا» وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ الْفِعْلَ.

The text also illustrates the use of the word "saying" to refer to an action, as in his phrase "he says like this," where he actually intends the physical act.
