Riyad as-Salihin, 723
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "When any of you puts on his shoes, he should put on the right one first; and when he takes them off, he should begin with the left. Let the right shoe be the first to be put on and the last to be taken off." <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: “ إذا انتعل أحدكم فليبدأ باليمنى، وإذا نزع فليبدأ بالشمال.لتكن اليمنى أولهما تنعل، وآخرهما تنزع" ((متفق عليه)) .
