Starting Right

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) liked to start things with the right hand and was keen on beginning his affairs in the right way.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allah SAW used to like to start in the right. He would accept with his right hand and give with his right hand, and he liked to start on the right in all his affairs".
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْمَرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بِشْرٍ، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّعْثَاءِ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يُحِبُّ التَّيَامُنَ يَأْخُذُ بِيَمِينِهِ وَيُعْطِي بِيَمِينِهِ وَيُحِبُّ التَّيَمُّنَ فِي جَمِيعِ أُمُورِهِ

The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, was known for his exemplary character and conduct. He always strived to do what is right and encouraged others to do the same. This hadith highlights one of his habits which was to start things with his right hand. This could mean anything from accepting something with your right hand or giving something away with your right hand. It also implies that he liked to begin all of his affairs in a righteous manner, setting an example for us all to follow. He wanted us to understand that it is important not only how we finish our tasks but also how we begin them as this sets the tone for everything else that follows afterwards.

The Prophet's habit of starting off on the right foot serves as a reminder for us all that we should strive towards doing good deeds and avoiding bad ones at every opportunity given so that our lives may be filled with blessings from Allah Almighty. We should take this hadith as an example of how we can live our lives according to Islamic teachings and strive towards righteousness in everything we do, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem at first glance.
