أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ وَفِي آخَرِينَ قَالُوا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، أنا الشَّافِعِيُّ، أنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَأَمَرْتُهُمْ بِتَأْخِيرِ الْعِشَاءِ، وَالسِّوَاكِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ ". زَادَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ: قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: وَفِي هَذَا دَلِيلٌ عَلَى أَنَّ السِّوَاكَ لَيْسَ بِوَاجِبٍ، وَأَنَّهُ اخْتِيَارٌ لِأَنَّهُ لَوْ كَانَ وَاجِبًا، أَمَرَهُمْ بِهِ شَقَّ أَوْ لَمْ يَشُقَّ. رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ قُتَيْبَةَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ وَغَيْرِهِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Were it not that I would be placing hardship on my Ummah, I would have commanded them to delay the Isha prayer and to use the miswak with every prayer."
(b) Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) says: In this hadith there is evidence that the miswak is not obligatory but optional; had it been obligatory, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would have commanded the Companions (to use the miswak) even if it caused them hardship.
