Question

Is there any Hadith which prohibits counting dhikr on the left hand? Kindly provide the relevant narrations and their references

Answer

Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (radiyallahu ‘anhuma) says: “I saw Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) counting tasbih with his right hand. (Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith: 1497)

The following Hadith of Sahih Bukhari supports the above-mentioned narration:

Sayyidatuna ‘Aishah (radiyallahu ‘anha) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) used to love to use his right hand for his taharah (cleanliness), combing his hair, and all things that were apparently good.

(Sahih Bukhari, Hadiths: 168 and 426)

This Hadith highlights the virtue of using the right hand for all credible and praiseworthy acts.

صحيح البخاري:
(١٦٨) حدثنا حفص بن عمر، قال: حدثنا شعبة، قال: أخبرني أشعث بن سليم، قال: سمعت أبي، عن مسروق، عن عائشة، قالت: «كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم «يعجبه التيمن، في تنعله، وترجله، وطهوره، وفي شأنه كله».

صحيح البخاري:
(٤٢٦) حدثنا سليمان بن حرب، قال: حدثنا شعبة، عن الأشعث بن سليم، عن أبيه، عن مسروق، عن عائشة، قالت: «كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يحب التيمن ما استطاع في شأنه كله، في طهوره وترجله وتنعله».
