https://sunnah.com/bukhari:2731 By Allah, whenever Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) spat, the spittle would fall in the hand of one of them (i.e. the Prophet's companions) who would rub it on his face and skin; if he ordered them they would carry his orders immediately; if he performed ablution, they would struggle to take the remaining water; and when they spoke to him, they would lower their voices and would not look at his face constantly out of respect. https://sunnah2.com/5136 (The Prophet’s holy phlegm, spit, dirty wudhu water) ‘Urwa ibn Mas’ud said, when the Quraish directed him to the Messenger of Allah (SAW) in the year of the issue, and he saw what he saw of how the Companions exalted Him, that hardly did He perform ablution but that they would rush to get his ablution water, and they almost killed each other over it. And hardly did He spit out something, or clear his throat of phlegm, but that they would catch it in the palms of their hands, and rub it over their faces and their bodies. And hardly did a hair fall from him, but that they would rush to get it. Whenever He ordered them to do something, they rushed to his order; and whenever He talked, they lowered their voices in his presence; and they did not fix their gaze on him out of reverence towards him.

He [Anas] said: There was no well in Medina with fresher water than this one. He said: And whenever people came around, He would draw up fresh water from it for them. In the age of ignorance it was called "The cool well" [“Al-barood”].

The Prophet (SAW) saw his face and said: “Woe to you, what did you do with the blood!” “I got rid of it behind the wall.” He said: “Where did you get rid of it?” “Oh Messenger of Allah, I was reluctant to give up your blood by spilling it on the ground – it’s in my belly.” He said: “Go now, you’ve saved yourself from hellfire.” Ibn Hajar Al-‘Asqalani, Talkhees Al-Habir fi Takhreej Ahadeeth Al-Rafi’i Al-Kabir [Authoritative Summary in Exposition of the Hadiths of Al-Rafi’i (Al-sharh Al-kabir by Imam Al-Rafi’i, itself an exposition of Al-wajiz by Al-Ghazali)], The book of purity, Chapter: clarification of impurities, and impure water.
