Spitting on the Left in case of Waswasa (Satan's Whispers)

Spitting on the Left in case of Waswasa (Satan's Whispers)

»Uthman ibn Abu al-'As reported that he came to Allah's Messenger (Peace and blessings upon Him) and said:

"Allah's Messenger, Satan intervenes between me and my prayer and my recitation of the Qur'an and he confounds me.

Thereupon Allah's Messenger (PBUH) said: 'That is (the doing of the Satan) who is known as Khinzab, and when you perceive its effects, seek refuge with Allah from it and spit three times to your left. I did that and Allah dispelled that from me.'" «([1])
