Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) 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].
