حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّعْثَاءِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يُحِبُّ التَّيَمُّنَ فِي طُهُورِهِ إِذَا تَطَهَّرَ وَفِي تَرَجُّلِهِ إِذَا تَرَجَّلَ وَفِي انْتِعَالِهِ إِذَا انْتَعَلَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَأَبُو الشَّعْثَاءِ اسْمُهُ سُلَيْمُ بْنُ أَسْوَدَ الْمُحَارِبِيُّ .

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 608
This Hadith describes a simple Sunnah habit: starting with the right side. Aishah narrated that the Messenger of Allah loved to begin with the right side when purifying himself, when combing, and when putting on sandals. The narration is easy to apply because it mentions daily actions. It is not only about wudu; it also includes grooming and footwear. The phrase hadith about starting with the right side matches the main search intent well. The hadith teaches that small, repeated actions can carry Prophetic guidance when done with care. Since the text says he loved this practice, the explanation should not turn it into claims outside the narration. It simply presents a loved Prophetic habit in purification and daily routine.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet loved beginning with the right side in purification.
- The same preference is mentioned for combing the hair.
- The same preference is mentioned for putting on sandals.
- Daily habits can follow Prophetic manners in simple ways.
