296. ‘Aishah narrated: “Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ would say one Taslīm for the Ṣalāt while facing forward and turning to his right side a little.” (Ḍa’if)
He said: There is something on this topic from Sahl bin Sa’d.
Abū ‘Eisā said: We do not know of the Hadīth of ‘Aishah being Marfū’ except from this route.
Muḥammad bin Ismā’il said: “The people of Ash-Sham narrated objectionable narrations from Zuhair bin Muḥammad; the narrations of the people of Al-‘Irāq are more appropriate [and more correct].”
Muḥammad said: “Aḥmad bin Ḥanbal said: ‘It is as if Zuhair bin Muḥammad they encountered is not this one who is narrated from in Al-‘Irāq. It is as if he is another man whose name was confused.’”
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] Some of the people of knowledge are of the view that the purport of this Hadīth should be acted upon in Ṣalāt. But the most correct of the narrations from the Prophet ﷺ mention two Taslīm, and this is what is followed by most of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, the Tābi’īn and those after them. There are those – among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, the Tābi’īn, and those after them – who held the view that the one Taslīm was for the
obligatory prayers.
Ash-Shāfi‘ī said: “If one wishes he says one Taslīm, and if he wishes he says two Taslīm.”

Commentary
A person can end the prayer by making salutation to just one side, but salutation to the other side as well was the usual routine of the Prophet ﷺ; so this is better, but making it just once is also alright. [Al-Mughnī: 2/243-244]
