حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْعَطَّارُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ، مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَقُمْتُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِرَأْسِي مِنْ وَرَائِي فَجَعَلَنِي عَنْ يَمِينِهِ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَحَدِيثُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَمَنْ بَعْدَهُمْ قَالُوا إِذَا كَانَ الرَّجُلُ مَعَ الإِمَامِ يَقُومُ عَنْ يَمِينِ الإِمَامِ .

Qutaybah narrated to us: Dawud ibn Abd al-Rahman al-Attar narrated to us, from Amr ibn Dinar, from Kurayb, the freedman of Ibn Abbas, from Ibn Abbas, who said: I prayed with the Prophet one night and stood to his left. The Messenger of Allah took hold of my head from behind and moved me to his right.
A report on this subject is also related from Anas. Abu Isa said: The hadith of Ibn Abbas is hasan sahih. The scholars among the Prophet’s Companions and those after them acted on this: they said that when a man is with the imam, he stands to the imam’s right.
