The Book of Forgetfulness (In Prayer)
Sahih

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ دَاوُدَ الْهَاشِمِيُّ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَعْدٍ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْمِسْوَرِ الْمَخْرَمِيُّ - عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَامِرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ يُسَلِّمُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ ‏.‏
That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say the taslim to his right and to his left.
