اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ خَشْرَمٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى وَهُوَ ابْنُ يُونُسَ ، عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ ، عَنْ الْمِقْدَامِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ شُرَيْحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ " بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ كَانَ يَبْدَأُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا دَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ ؟ قَالَتْ : بِالسِّوَاكِ " .
´It was narrated from Al-Miqdam - Abu Shuraih - that his father said:` "I said to 'Aishah: 'What did the Prophet (ﷺ) start with when he entered his house?' She said: 'The Siwak.'"

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
8. Commentary:
➊ This chapter can also be seen as a continuation of the previous chapter, in that whenever the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would enter his house, he would use the miswak. It is evident that he was often in a state of fasting, therefore a fasting person may use the miswak at any time.
➋ “At every time” here refers to customary generality (‘urfi istighraq), not literal. Otherwise, many times are logically and legally excepted, such as: during prayer and recitation, while eating, while speaking, and during relieving oneself, etc. And Allah knows best.

Benefits and Issues:
Using the miswak (tooth-stick) while walking on the road or wandering about was not among the regular practices of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, as is seen among people nowadays.

Commentary:
(1)
From this it is understood that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would also make a practice of using the miswak outside of the times of prayer.
(2)
Some jurists have stipulated certain conditions which are not established by any evidence, such as the miswak being one handspan in length, or not using the miswak without water, and so on.
