Riyad as-Salihin, 1095
Al-Bara' (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Whenever we performed Salat behind the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), we liked to be on his right side so that his face might turn towards us (at the end of the Salat). One day, I heard Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) supplicating, "O my Rubb! Shield me from Your Torment on the Day when You will gather (or said, 'resurrect') Your slaves." <b>[Muslim]</b>.
وعن البراء، رضي الله عنه قال: "كنا إذا صلينا خلف رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ، أحببنا أن نكون عن يمينه، يقبل علينا بوجهه، فسمعته يقول: "رب قني عذابك يوم تبعث - أو تجمع- عبادك". ((رواه مسلم)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) It shows the merit of standing in the right side of rows so as to win the blessings sent by Allah and His angels.<br>
2) The proper course in this regard is that we should be keen to stand in the right side of the row without abandoning the left side, for the Imām has to be in the middle.
