Note 34 — THE SLEEPER AND THE WAKER.[1]
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
After both sets of prayers, Farz and Sunnah, the Moslem looks over his right shoulder and says “The Peace (of Allah) be upon you and the ruth of Allah,” and repeats the words over the left shoulder. The salutation is addressed to the Guardian Angels or to the bystanders (Moslems) who, however, do not return it.
