112. It was narrated that 'Aîshah (may Allâh be pleased with her) mentioned: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ used to like to start with the right whenever he could, when purifying himself and when putting on shoes or combing his hair." (One of the narrators) Shu'bah said: "Then I heard Al-Ash'ath in Wâsit, saying that he liked to start with the right, and he preferred that in all his affairs. Then I heard him in Al-Kûfah saying that he liked to start with the right whenever he could." (Sahîh)

112 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي الْأَشْعَثُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا وَذَكَرَتْ: «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُحِبُّ التَّيَامُنَ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ فِي طُهُورِهِ وَنَعْلِهِ وَتَرَجُّلِهِ» قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُ الْأَشْعَثَ بِوَاسِطَ يَقُولُ: يُحِبُّ التَّيَامُنَ، فَذَكَرَ شَأْنَهُ كُلَّهُ، ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُهُ بِالْكُوفَةِ يَقُولُ: يُحِبُّ التَّيَامُنَ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ

Commentary

It is desirable to start with the right side in the process of washing the ablution limbs. In the Noble Qur'ân, Allâh, the Most High, refers to the inhabitants of Paradise as being Ashâbul Yamin [Al-Wâqiah: 27], the Companions of the right.
