Excellence of using the right Hand for Performing various good Acts
Allah, the Exalted, says:
"
Then as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand will say: `Take, read my Record!'''
(69:19)
"So those on the Right Hand (i.e., those who will be given their Records in their right hands) how (fortunate)
will those be on the Right Hand! (As a respect for them, because they will enter Jannah). And those on the
Left Hand (i.e., those who will be given their Record in their left hands) how (unfortunate) will those be on
the Left Hand! (As a disgrace for them, because they will enter Hell).''
(56:8,9)

`Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:
Messenger of Allah was used to using his right hand for
performing Wudu' and for eating his food whereas he was used to using his left hand in his toilet and for other
similar purposes.
[Abu Dawud]
Commentary:
Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to use his left hand in washing his private parts and cleaning his
nose and similar things, Muslims are obliged to follow his example.

Umm `Atiyyah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:
The Prophet (PBUH) instructed us at the time of
washing the dead body of his daughter Zainab (May Allah be pleased with her) to begin with her right side, and
from the parts that are washed in Wudu'.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
Here we are told about the excellence of washing the dead starting with their right side, Umm
`Atiyyah (May Allah be pleased with her) was one of those women who had washed the dead body of the Prophet's
daughter Zainab (May Allah be pleased with her). Messenger of Allah (PBUH) directed these women to do as
mentioned above. We infer from this Hadith that either women should wash the dead body of a woman or this job
should be done by her husband.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) 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.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith sheds light on the etiquette of wearing as well as removing shoes. Every Muslim is
supposed to have regard for the Prophetic example and to follow it.
