بَابٌ فِيمَا جَاءَ فِي السِّوَاكِ عِنْدَ الْوُضُوءِChapter on What Has Been Reported Regarding Siwak at the Time of Ablution
Hadith 565
اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَأَمَرْتُهُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ مَعَ الْوُضُوءِ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: لَأَمَرْتُهُمْ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ بِوُضُوءٍ وَمَعَ كُلِّ وُضُوءٍ سِوَاكٌ) وَلَأَخَّرْتُ الْعِشَاءَ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ))
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If I had not feared hardship for my Ummah, I would have commanded them to use the miswak with every ablution, and to delay the ‘Isha prayer until one third or half of the night had passed." In another narration: "I would have commanded them to perform ablution for every prayer and to use the miswak with every ablution."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Using the miswak (tooth-stick) along with ablution (wudu) is for the sake of prayer, as is established from the wording of another narration. However, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would also use the miswak apart from ablution, as will be clarified in the following chapters.
