حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ الْبَرَائِ عَنْ الْبَرَائِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ کُنَّا إِذَا صَلَّيْنَا خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحْبَبْنَا أَنْ نَکُونَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فَيُقْبِلُ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 615
Narrated Al-Bara ibn Azib: When we would pray behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, we liked to be on his right side. He (the Prophet) would sit turning his face towards us (and back towards the Kabah) ﷺ.
