إِذَا لَبِسْتُمْ وَإِذَا تَوَضَّأْتُمْ، فَابْدَؤُوا بِمَيَامِنِكُمْ
Translation: When you put on clothing and when you perform ablution, begin with your right sides.

Source: أحمد

لَبِسْتُمْ means “you put on clothing” and تَوَضَّأْتُمْ “you performed ablution”; the ending تُمْ addresses a plural “you.” فَابْدَؤُوا is the instruction “begin,” and بِمَيَامِنِكُمْ means “with your right sides.”

The narration teaches an orderly preference for the right side in dressing and ablution. Pay attention to how an action is begun, without assuming every daily action carries precisely the same legal ruling.
