أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو حَفْصٍ عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ لَا يَجْعَلَنَّ أَحَدُکُمْ لِلشَّيْطَانِ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ جُزْئًا يَرَی أَنَّ حَتْمًا عَلَيْهِ أَنْ لَا يَنْصَرِفَ إِلَّا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَکْثَرَ انْصِرَافِهِ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1365
It was narrated that Al Aswad said: “Abdullah said: ‘No one among you should allow the Shaitan to give him wrong ideas by making him believe that he can only leave after praying by moving to his right, because I saw the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم usually departing to the left.” (Sahih).
