[Machine] I prayed with Ali and Abdullah, and I saw them both say their greetings with their right hand and their characteristics. Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah. Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah. And it is claimed that they prayed behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so he greeted on his right side "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah" and on his left side "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah" until the whiteness of his cheek was visible from both sides.  

الطبراني:١٠١٩٢حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ ثنا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحَرِيشِ ثنا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ قَالَ

صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ وَعَبْدِ اللهِ فَرَأَيْتُهُمَا يُسَلِّمَانِ عَنْ أَيْمَانِهِمَا وَعَنْ شَمَائِلِهِمَا السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَزَعَمَ أَنَّهُمَا صَلَّيَا خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَلَّمَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ «السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ» وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ «السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ» حَتَّى يُرَى بَيَاضُ خَدِّهِ مِنَ الْجَانِبَيْنِ
