حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَا يَجْعَلُ أَحَدُکُمْ نَصِيبًا لِلشَّيْطَانِ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ أَنْ لَا يَنْصَرِفَ إِلَّا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَکْثَرُ مَا يَنْصَرِفُ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ قَالَ عُمَارَةُ أَتَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ بَعْدُ فَرَأَيْتُ مَنَازِلَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1042
Abdullah (bin Masud) said; One of you should not give a share from his prayer to the devil, that he does not turn away expect to his right side. I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ often turning away to his left side. the narrator Umarah said: I came to Madina afterwards and saw that the houses of the prophet ﷺ were (built) in the left.
