Sahih Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 69-74

Chapter 7: It is permissible to leave to the right or left after finishing the prayer.

Abdullah reported:

None of you should give a share to Satan out of yourself. He should not deem that it is necessary for him to turn but to the right only (after prayer). I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) turning to the left. (Sahih Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 69)

A hadith like this has been narrated by A'mash, with the same chain of transmitters. (Sahih Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 70)

Suddi reported:

I asked Anas how I should turn-to the right or to the left-when I say my prayers. He said: I have very often seen the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) turning to the right. (Sahih Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 71)

Anas reported:

The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) used to turn to the right (at the end of the prayer). (Sahih Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 72)

Chapter 8: It is recommended to stand to the right of the Imam.

Bara' reported:

When we prayed behind the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) we cherished to be on his right side so that his face would turn towards us (at the end of the prayer), and he (the narrator) said: I heard him say: O my Lord! save me from Thy torment on the Day when Thoil, wouldst raise or gather Thy servants. (Sahih Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 73)

This hadith has been reported by Mis'ar with the same chain of transmitters, but he made no mention of:

"His face would turn towards us." (Sahih Muslim Book 6 – Hadith 74)
