بَابٌ فِيمَا جَاءَ فِي السِّوَاكِ عِنْدَ الْوُضُوءِ
Chapter on What Has Been Reported Regarding Siwak at the Time of Ablution
Hadith 565
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."
Hadith 566
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا بِنَحْوِهِ وَفِيهِ: قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ لَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَسْتَنُّ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَنَامَ وَبَعْدَ مَا أَسْتَيْقِظُ وَقَبْلَ مَا آكُلُ وَبَعْدَ مَا آكُلُ حِينَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَا قَالَ
A similar hadith is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, except that in it: Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "After hearing this hadith from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, I used to use the miswak before sleeping, after waking up, before eating, and after eating."
