The Siwak

The Siwak السواك

  • (287) عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : (( لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لأَمَرْتُهُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ ))

( سنن ابن ماجه )

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said

“The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Were it not that it would be too difficult for my Ummah (nation), I would have commanded them to use the tooth stick at every time of prayer.'”

(Sunan Ibn Majah)
