حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ رُسْتُمَ أَبُو عَامِرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مَاهَکَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا صَلَّی أَحَدُکُمْ فَلَا يَضَعْ نَعْلَيْهِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَلَا عَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَتَکُونَ عَنْ يَمِينِ غَيْرِهِ إِلَّا أَنْ لَا يَکُونَ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ أَحَدٌ وَلْيَضَعْهُمَا بَيْنَ رِجْلَيْهِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 654
Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet ﷺ said: When any of you prays, he should not place his sandals on his right side or on his left so as to be on the right side of someone else, unless no one is at his left, but should place them between his feet.
