The Excellence of using Miswak (Tooth-Stick)
وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: كُنَّا نُعِدُّ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ، سِوَاكَهُ وَطَهُورَهُ، فَيَبْعَثُهُ اللَّهُ مَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَبْعَثَهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، فَيَتَسَوَّكُ وَيَتَوَضَّأُ وَيُصَلِّي. ((رَوَاهُ مُسْلِم)).
'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: We used to prepare for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) a Miswak (tooth-stick) and the water for making Wudu'. Whenever Allah wished to awaken him from sleep at night, he (ﷺ) would brush his teeth with Miswak, make Wudu', and perform Salat. [Muslim].
