Sayyidah Hafsah (may Allah be pleased with her), the honoured wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), narrates: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to his bed, he would lie down on his right side. His right hand was for eating, drinking, performing ablution, dressing, taking hold of things and giving things, and his left hand was for other tasks. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Abu Dawud recorded the opening part of this report.
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
