Sunan Abi Dawud 1042 (Book 2, Hadith 653) #21334
Turning Away From The Devil's Side

SUMMARY: One should not give a share of their prayer to the devil and should turn away from the devil's side, which is usually the left side.

'Abd Allah (b. Mas’ud) said; One of you should not give a share from his prayer to the devil, that he does not turn away expect to his right side. I saw the Messenger of Allah often turning away to his left side. the narrator 'Umarah said: I came to medina afterwards and saw that the houses of the prophet were (built) in the left.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ لاَ يَجْعَلْ أَحَدُكُمْ نَصِيبًا لِلشَّيْطَانِ مِنْ صَلاَتِهِ أَنْ لاَ يَنْصَرِفَ إِلاَّ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَكْثَرَ مَا يَنْصَرِفُ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ عُمَارَةُ أَتَيْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ بَعْدُ فَرَأَيْتُ مَنَازِلَ النَّبِيِّ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about how one should not give a share of their prayer to the devil, or shaytan. It is important to turn away from the devil’s side, which is usually considered to be on one’s left side. The Prophet Muhammad often turned away from his left side when praying, and it was noticed that his houses in Medina were built on his left as well. This hadith teaches us that we must be aware of our surroundings when we are praying so that we do not let any part of our prayer go towards shaytan or evil forces. We must also remember to turn away from these forces in order for our prayers to be accepted by God Almighty.
