Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would turn to his right side saying «‏‏‏‏السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ» ‏‏‏‏ "Peace be upon you and the mercy and blessings of Allah," until the whiteness of his blessed cheek would become visible. And he would turn to his left side saying «‏‏‏‏السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ» ‏‏‏‏ until the whiteness of his blessed cheek would become apparent.
