The Excellence of using Miswak (Tooth-Stick)
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: لَوْلاَ أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي - أو على الناس- لأَمَرْتُهُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ مَعَ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ ((مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ)) .
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Had I not thought it difficult for my Ummah, I would have commanded them to use the Miswak (tooth-stick) before every Salat." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
