1318. It was narrated that Sa'd said: "I used to see the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ saying the Taslîm to his right and to his left until the whiteness of his cheek could be seen."
Abû 'Abdur-Rahmân (An-Nasâ'î) said: 'Abdullâh bin Ja'far; (one of the narrators in the chain) there is no harm in him, and 'Abdullâh bin Ja'far bin Najîh, the father of 'Alî bin Al-Madînî, is an abandoned narrator of Hadîth. (Sahîh)

Commentary
a. The transmitter of this narration is ‘Abdullâh bin Ja’far Al-Makhrami and he is trustworthy or reliable. There is another ‘Abdullâh bin Ja’far who is the father of the famous Traditionist or the Muhaddith ‘Alî bin Al-Madînî. But due to his weak memory, he is not worthy of trust in the science of Hadîth. Since there was fear of dubiousness, Imâm An-Nasâ’î offered this clarification. May Allâh reward him with a goodly reward!
b. The greeting or Salâm should be performed on both the sides. A large number of narrations proves that to be the case. But at the end of the prayer, performing greeting on only one side is also permissible, because saying Salâm on only one side is also proven by the Prophet’s ﷺ practice. (Silsilatul Ahâdîth As-Sahîhah Vol. 1, Hadîth 316)
