And he was saying: In front of you, on your right and on your left. (Using translation from Muslim 997a)   

البيهقي:٢١٥٣٨فَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ح قَالَ وَثَنًا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شَاذَانَ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ قَالَا ثنا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ أنبأ اللَّيْثُ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ أَعْتَقَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي عُذْرَةَ عَبْدًا لَهُ

عَنْ دُبُرٍ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَلَكَ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُ ؟ فَقَالَ لَا فَقَالَ مَنْ يَشْتَرِيهِ مِنِّي ؟ فَاشْتَرَاهُ نُعَيْمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْعَدَوِيُّ بِثَمَانِمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فَجَاءَ بِهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَدَفَعَهَا إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ابْدَأْ بِنَفْسِكَ فَتَصَدَّقْ عَلَيْهَا فَإِنْ فَضَلَ شَيْءٌ فَلِأَهْلِكَ فَإِنْ فَضَلَ عَنْ أَهْلِكَ شَيْءٌ فَلِذِي قَرَابَتِكَ فَإِنْ فَضَلَ عَنْ ذِي قَرَابَتِكَ فَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا يَقُولُ فَبَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَعَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَعَنْ شِمَالِكَ  

رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ قُتَيْبَةَ وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ رُمْحٍ وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ أَيُّوبُ بْنُ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ السَّخْتِيَانِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ
