The Prophet ﷺ said, "Why do I see you coming to me with unkempt hair? Would it not be difficult for my Ummah (nation) if I were to impose the use of Siwak (tooth-cleaning twig) on them, just as I have made Wudu (ablution) obligatory upon them?"
أَتَوْا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَوِ أتِيَ فَقَالَ مَا لِي أَرَاكُمْ تَأْتُونِي قُلْحًا اسْتَاكُوا لَوْلا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَفَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِمُ السِّوَاكَ كَمَا فَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِمِ الْوُضُوءَ
[Machine] We came to the Prophet ﷺ and he said, "Why do you come to me with dirty mouths? Had it not been difficult for my ummah, I would have made it obligatory for them to use the siwak (tooth stick) just as I have made it obligatory for them to perform ablution (wudu)."
أَتَيْنَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا بَالُكُمْ تَأْتُونِي قُلْحًا لَا تَسَوَّكُونَ لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَفَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِمُ السِّوَاكَ كَمَا فَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْوُضُوءَ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "If it were not difficult for my Ummah (followers), I would have made it obligatory for them to use the Siwak (tooth stick) before every prayer, just as I made it obligatory for them to perform ablution before prayer."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَفَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِمُ السِّوَاكَ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ كَمَا فَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْوُضُوءَ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Why do I see you coming to me with unkempt hair? If it were not difficult for my ummah (community), I would have made it obligatory for them to use the tooth stick (siwak) just as the prayer is obligated upon them."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا لِي أَرَاكُمْ تَأْتُونِي قُلْحًا اسْتَاكُوا فَلَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَفَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِمُ السِّوَاكَ كَمَا فُرِضَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الصَّلَاةُ»
