Starting Ablution from the Right Side

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us to start washing our hands and feet from the right side when performing ablution.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'When you perform ablution, start on the right'." (Da'if) Another chain with similar wording.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ إِذَا تَوَضَّأْتُمْ فَابْدَءُوا بِمَيَامِنِكُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَاتِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ صَالِحٍ، وَابْنُ، نُفَيْلٍ وَغَيْرُهُمَا قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah teaches us that when we perform ablution, we should start on the right side. This is a sign of respect for Allah and it is also a way of showing cleanliness. It is important to remember that this applies to both men and women, as it was taught by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). When performing ablution, one should begin with washing their hands up to their wrists three times, followed by rinsing out their mouth three times and then cleaning their nose with water three times. After this, they should wash their face three times before moving onto washing each arm up to the elbows three times. Finally, they should wipe over their head once before wiping over each foot up to the ankles three times. By following these steps in order starting from the right side shows respect for Allah and helps maintain cleanliness in our lives which is an important part of being a Muslim.
