قِيلَ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع لِمَ صَارَ الرَّجُلُ يَنْحَرِفُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ إِلَى الْيَسَارِ فَقَالَ لِأَنَّ لِلْكَعْبَةِ سِتَّةَ حُدُودٍ أَرْبَعَةٌ مِنْهَا عَنْ يَسَارِكَ وَ اثْنَانِ مِنْهَا عَلَى يَمِينِكَ فَمِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ وَقَعَ التَّحْرِيفُ إِلَى الْيَسَارِ.

6. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated in a marfu‘ manner the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was asked this question: ‘Why is man told to incline toward the left when facing the direction of Qiblah?’ He replied, ‘Ka’bah has six limits, four on the left and two on the right; for this reason inclination is toward the left.’”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.
