301. Qabiṣah bin Hulb narrated that his father said: "When Allāh's Messenger ﷺ would lead us in Ṣalāt he would turn (to leave) from both sides, on his right and on his left." (Ḥasan)
There are narrations on this topic from 'Abdullāh bin Mas'ūd, Anas, 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr, and Abū Hurairah.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Ḥadīth of Hulb is a Ḥasan Ḥadīth.
This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge, one is to leave from whichever side he wishes, from the right if he wants, or if he wants, from the left.
Both cases are reported correct from Allāh's Messenger ﷺ.
It has been related that 'Alī bin Abī Tālib said: "If his need was on the right, he would go from the right, and if his need was on the left, he would go from the left."

Commentary
After making the final salutation, the Imām will sit at his place facing the people, as it is in the Ḥadīth of Samurah that the Prophet ﷺ would turn his face to us after concluding the prayer; (Ṣaḥīḥ Al-Bukhārī: 845) and when he would get up he would walk to whatever side he liked, right or left.
