[Machine] "On the authority of Abu al-Jarrah, the servant of Umm Habibah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , from Umm Habibah, she narrated to him that Zainab bint Jahsh said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'If it were not difficult upon my ummah (Muslim community), I would have commanded them to use the siwak (i.e., a tooth-stick) with every prayer as they perform ablution.'"  

أحمد:٢٧٤١٥حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُكَانَةَ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ

عَنْ أَبِي الْجَرَّاحِ مَوْلَى أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَنْ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ أَنَّهَا حَدَّثَتْهُ عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَأَمَرْتُهُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ كَمَا يَتَوَضَّئُونَ
