أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ السُّدِّيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِکٍ کَيْفَ أَنْصَرِفُ إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ عَنْ يَمِينِي أَوْ عَنْ يَسَارِي قَالَ أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَکْثَرُ مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْصَرِفُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1364
It was narrated that Saddi said: “I asked Anas bin Mailk: ‘How should I leave after I have prayed — to the right or to the left?’ He said: ‘I usually saw the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم leave to the right.” (Sahih).
