It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By the One in whose hand is my soul, you will surely follow the ways of those who came before you, as one sandal matches the other."
It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Jibril (peace be upon him) urged me so much to use the siwak (tooth-stick) that I thought I would swallow it."
Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was sitting with a maternal uncle of mine from the Ansar when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Go out to the forest and bring me some of its wood, then make me a pulpit on which I can sit and speak to the people." So he made a pulpit with two steps, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) sat on it.
