Silsilah as-Sahihah 2886 — Giving Preference to the Right Side

Muhammad bin Isma'il says that someone asked Sayyiduna Abdullah Abu Habibah (may Allah be pleased with him): Have you remembered anything from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us in the mosque of Quba. At that time, I was a young boy. I came and sat on his right side, and Abu Bakr sat on his left side. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked for a drink, drank some, and gave the rest to me because I was sitting on his right side. I drank that drink. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up. I saw that he was praying while wearing his shoes.
