[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If it were not difficult for my Ummah, I would have commanded them to delay the Isha prayer and use the siwak (toothstick) before every prayer." Abu Sa'id added in his narration: Al-Shafi'i said, "This is evidence that using the siwak is not obligatory, but rather a choice. Because if it were obligatory, he would have either commanded them to do it or not to do it."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ 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  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If it were not difficult for my ummah, I would have commanded them to use the siwak (tooth stick) with every ablution." This was narrated to us in Al-Fawaid 147. Abu Zakaria ibn Abi Ishaq informed us that Ahmad bin Sulaiman al-Faqih narrated to us, and Harith bin Muhammad narrated to us, and Ruha bin Ubada narrated to us, and Malik bin Anas mentioned it as a hadith from the Prophet. This hadith is well-known by Ruha bin Ubada and Bishr bin Umar al-Zahrani, from Malik.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَأَمَرْتُهُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ مَعَ كُلِّ وُضُوءٍ هَكَذَا أَخْبَرَنَاهُ فِي الْفَوَائِدِ 147 وَقَدْ أنبأ أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ أنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْفَقِيهُ ثنا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ثنا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ ثنا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ فَذَكَرَهُ مَرْفُوعًا وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مَعْرُوفٌ بِرَوْحِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ وَبِشْرِ بْنِ عُمَرَ الزَّهْرَانِيِّ عَنْ مَالِكٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If it were not difficult for my ummah, I would have made it obligatory for them to use the siwak (toothstick) with every wudu (ablution), and I would have delayed the evening prayer (Maghrib) until half the night."  

قال رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَفَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِمُ السِّوَاكَ مَعَ الْوُضُوءِ وَلَأَخَّرْتُ صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى نِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "If it was not difficult for my Ummah, I would have commanded them to use the Siwak (tooth-stick) with every ablution. And I would have delayed the Isha prayer until the third or halfway through the night." The remaining part of the hadith is not mentioned in this translation. Abu Tahir informed us, Abu Hamid narrated to us, Muhammad ibn Yahya informed us that Ahmad ibn Khalid narrated to us, and Muhammad ibn Ishaq narrated from Sa'id ibn Abi Sa'id Al-Maqburi, from 'Ata'a, the freed slave of Umm Sabiha, from Abu Hurayrah, who said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: 'If it was not a hardship upon my Ummah, I would command them to do so.'" And Muhammad ibn Yahya reported to us, Ya'qub ibn Ibrahim ibn Sa'd said, "My father narrated to me, from his father, from Ibn Ishaq, with a similar wording."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي أَظُنُّهُ قَالَ أَمَرْتُهُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ مَعَ الْوُضُوءِ وَلَأَخَّرْتُ صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ نِصْفِهِ وَذَكَرَ بَاقِي الْحَدِيثِ 150 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ أنا أَبُو حَامِدٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى أَنَّ أَحْمَدَ بْنَ خَالِدٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ مَوْلَى أُمِّ صَبِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَوْلَا أَنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي نَحْوَهُ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بِنَحْوِهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Why do I see you coming to me with disheveled hair? If it were not for the hardship on my Ummah, I would have made it obligatory for them to use the Siwak (toothbrush) just as it is obligatory for them to perform ablution."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا لِي أَرَاكُمْ تَأْتُونِي قُلْحًا لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَفَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِمُ السِّوَاكَ كَمَا فُرِضَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْوُضُوءُ كَذَا  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "You will come to me as a group of thirsty people, so seek my help." Al-Bukhari said, and Jareer reported from Mansur, who reported from Abu Ali, who reported from Ja'far bin Tamam, who reported from Ibn Abbas, who reported from the Prophet ﷺ in a similar manner. Ath-Thawri also said, "In a similar manner to what we have narrated." Abu Al-Qasim Al-Baghawi narrated it from Ishaq, who narrated it from Ismail At-Talqaani, who narrated it from Jareer through his chain of narrators, from his father, from the Prophet ﷺ . Additionally, Suraaj bin Yoones narrated it from Umar bin Abdul Rahman through his chain of narrators, from his father, from Ibn Abbas, from the Prophet ﷺ . It is also said that this hadith is different in its chain of narrators.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ تَدْخُلُونَ عَلَيَّ قُلْحًا اسْتَاكُوا قَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ وَقَالَ جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ تَمَّامٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِنَحْوِهِ وَقَالَ الثَّوْرِيُّ كَنَحْوِ مَا رُوِّينَاهُ وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ الْبَغَوِيُّ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الطَّالِقَانِيِّ عَنْ جَرِيرٍ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَعَنْ سُرَيْجِ بْنِ يُونُسَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقِيلَ غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ وَهُوَ حَدِيثٌ مُخْتَلَفٌ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Ten are the acts according to fitrah (nature): clipping the moustache, letting the beard grow, using the tooth-stick, cleansing the nose (Al-Istinshaq) with water, cutting the nails, washing the finger joints, plucking the hair under the arm-pits, shaving the pubes, and cleansing one's private parts (after easing or urinating) with water. The narrator said: I have forgotten the tenth, but it may have been rinsing the mouth. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 53)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَشْرٌ مِنَ الْفِطْرَةِ قَصُّ الشَّارِبِ وَإِعْفَاءُ اللِّحْيَةِ وَالسِّوَاكُ وَالِاسْتِنْشَاقُ بِالْمَاءِ وَقَصُّ الْأَظَافِرِ وَغَسَلُ الْبَرَاجِمِ وَنَتْفُ الْإِبْطِ وَحَلَقُ الْعَانَةِ وَانْتِقَاصُ الْمَاءِ قَالَ مُصْعَبٌ وَنَسِيتُ الْعَاشِرَةَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ الْمَضْمَضَةَ
