I asked Anas how I should turn-to the right or to the left-when I say my prayers. He said: I have very often seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turning to the right.
سَأَلْتُ أَنَسًا كَيْفَ أَنْصَرِفُ إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ عَنْ يَمِينِي أَوْ عَنْ يَسَارِي قَالَ أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَكْثَرُ مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْصَرِفُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ

"I asked Anas bin Malik: 'How should I leave after I have prayed- to the right or to the left?' He said: 'I usually saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ leave to the right.'
أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَكْثَرُ مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَنْصَرِفُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ
[Machine] I asked Anas bin Malik, "Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pray for his son Ibrahim?" He replied, "I do not know if the mercy of Allah was upon Ibrahim. If two truthful, righteous friends were to be saved, they would be him and the Prophet." I asked, "How should I turn when I finish praying, whether to my right or left?" He replied, "As for me, I have seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turning to his right."
سَأَلْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ قُلْتُ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى ابْنِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ؟ قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَوْ عَاشَكَانَ صِدِّيقًا نَبِيًّا قَالَ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ أَنْصَرِفُ إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ عَنْ يَمِينِي أَوْ عَنْ يَسَارِي؟ قَالَ أَمَّا أَنَا فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَنْصَرِفُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ
"I asked Anas bin Malik: 'How should I leave after I have prayed- to the right or to the left?' He said: 'I usually saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ leave to the right.' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1359)
أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَكْثَرُ «مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَنْصَرِفُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ»
