Bayhaqi 156 — The emphasis on the tooth-stick when standing for prayer

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، ثنا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَأَمَرْتُهُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ ". قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ: فَرَأَيْتُ زَيْدًا يَجْلِسُ فِي ⦗٦١⦘ الْمَسْجِدِ، وَإِنَّ السِّوَاكَ مِنْ أُذُنِهِ مَوْضِعَ الْقَلَمِ مِنْ أُذُنِ الْكَاتِبِ. فَكُلَّمَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ اسْتَاكَ. وَبَلَغَنِي عَنِ الْبُخَارِيِّ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ: حَدِيثُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ أَصَحُّ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى التِّرْمِذِيُّ: كِلَاهُمَا عِنْدِي صَحِيحٌ. قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: وَقَدْ وَقَعَ آخِرٌ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ بِإِسْنَادٍ لَهُ آخَرَ.
(a) Sayyiduna Zayd bin Khalid al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Had I not considered it a hardship for the Ummah, I would have ordered them to use the siwak for every prayer."
(b) Abu Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I saw Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) sitting in the mosque, and the siwak was on his ear just as a scribe keeps his pen on his ear. Whenever he stood for prayer, he would use the siwak.
It reached me that al-Bukhari used to say: The hadith of Abu Salamah from Zayd bin Khalid is more authentic. Abu Isa al-Tirmidhi said: In my view both of them are sahih (authentic).
The Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The last part of this hadith has been reported from Muhammad bin Ishaq bin Yasar (may Allah have mercy on him) through another chain of his.
