[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to prefer/delight in being right-handed in all his affairs, including walking, purification, and wearing his shoes. Shu'bah said, "Then I asked him afterwards, and he said, 'The Prophet ﷺ used to like/prefer being right-handed in whatever he was able to.'"  

أحمد:٢٥٥٤٥ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ عَنْ شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَشْعَثَ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّعْثَاءِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُعْجِبُهُ التَّيَمُّنُ فِي شَأْنِهِ كُلِّهِ فِي تَرَجُّلِهِ وَفِي طُهُورِهِ وَفِي نَعْلِهِ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُحِبُّ أَوْ يُعْجِبُهُ التَّيَمُّنُ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ
