2. When sharing the bed with his wife what side of his wife did Nabi SAW sleep?

i would be grateful if you could give me an answer but i do know that the question may not have an answer and would be grateful if you could let me know

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

May Allah bless your marriage and keep you steadfast on the Sunnah.

1). Wearing the turban was from the blessed sunnah of Nabi salla Allahu ‘alaihi wa sallam and his Sahabah. Numerous narrations indicate towards Nabi salla Allahu ‘alaihi wa sallam and the Sahabah wearing various colored turbans: black, white, saffron, etc.[1] The sunnah of wearing a turban will be fulfilled by wearing any of these colors. In reference to your question, we are unaware of any narration specifying the color of Nabi’s salla Allahu ‘alaihi wa sallam turban at the time of his nikāh (any of them).

2). After considerable amount of research, we were unable to find anything on the topic.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
