[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "If it were not difficult for my nation, I would have commanded them to delay the last 'Isha prayer and to use the Siwak at every prayer." This is a hadith reported by Ibn Uyaynah, and in a hadith by Malik, "I would have commanded them to use the Siwak, and the people did not mention that from Malik."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَأَمَرْتُهُمْ بِتَأْخِيرِ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ وَالسِّوَاكِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ هَذَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ وَفِي حَدِيثِ مَالِكٍ أَوْ عَلَى النَّاسِ لَأَمَرْتُهُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ لَمْ يَزِدْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ عَنْ مَالِكٍ وَقَالَ لَأَمَرْتُهُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ مَعَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ وَأَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا ذَلِكَ عَنْ مَالِكٍ  

[Machine] Narrated by Abu Hurairah, the Prophet ﷺ said, "If it were not difficult upon my Ummah (nation), I would have commanded them to use the Siwak (tooth-stick) for every prayer." It has also been narrated by Abu Salamah, from Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَأَمَرْتُهُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ مَعَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ وَقِيلَ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "If it were not difficult for my ummah (community), I would have commanded them to use the siwak (tooth-stick) before every prayer." Abu Salamah said, "I saw Zaid sitting in the masjid, and the siwak was at the place of the pen from the ear of the scribe. Whenever he stood up for prayer, he would use it." Al-Bukhari narrated to me that he used to say that the Hadith of Abu Salamah from Zaid bin Khaled is the most authentic. Abu Isa at-Tirmidhi said, "I consider both of them (the narrators) to be authentic." The Sheikh said, "And the last part of this Hadith has been transmitted from Muhammad bin Ishaq bin Yasir with a chain of narrators from him."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَأَمَرْتُهُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ فَرَأَيْتُ زَيْدًا يَجْلِسُ فِي 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  

[Machine] The miswak of the Prophet ﷺ was the size of a pen, Abu Al-Qasim said.  

كَانَ السِّوَاكُ مِنْ أُذُنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَوْضِعَ الْقَلَمِ مِنْ أُذُنِ الْكَاتِبِ قَالَ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ  

[Machine] that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded to perform ablution (wudu) for every prayer, whether in a state of purity or not, and when this became difficult for them, he commanded the use of siwak (toothstick) for every prayer. Ibn Umar saw that it gave him strength, so he never left ablution for any prayer. This is the narration of Ahmad bin Khalid Al-Wahbi, and Saeed mentioned it in his narration from Ubaidullah bin Abdullah, who said that when this became difficult for them, Abu Dawood Ibrahim bin Saad said.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَرَ بِالْوُضُوءِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ طَاهِرًا أَوْ غَيْرَ طَاهِرٍ فَلَمَّا شَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ أَمَرَ بِالسِّوَاكِ لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ فَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَرَى أَنَّ بِهِ قُوَّةً فَكَانَ لَا يَدَعُ الْوُضُوءَ لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْوَهْبِيِّ وَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ فَلَمَّا شَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The preferred prayer is the one for which you are summoned over the prayer for which you are not summoned, and this Hadith is one of the things that are feared to be fabrications by Muhammad ibn Ishaq ibn Yasar, and he did not hear it from Az-Zuhri, and he has said  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ تَفْضُلُ الصَّلَاةُ الَّتِي يُسْتَاكُ لَهَا عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ الَّتِي لَا يُسْتَاكُ لَهَا سَبْعِينَ ضِعْفًا وَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ أَحَدُ مَا يُخَافُ أَنْ يَكُونَ مِنْ تَدْلِيسَاتِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ وَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْمَعْهُ مِنَ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَقَدْ  

[Machine] "Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ, the two units of prayer (raka'at) after using the toothstick (miswak) are more beloved to me than seventy units of prayer before using the toothstick. This act of worship is not to be used as an argument (in matters of virtue). Aisha also narrated this without mentioning this specific way."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الرَّكْعَتَانِ بَعْدَ السِّوَاكِ أَحَبُّ إِلِيَّ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ رَكْعَةٍ قَبْلَ السِّوَاكِ الْوَاقِدِيُّ لَا يُحْتَجُّ بِهِ وَرُوِيَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ مِنْ غَيْرِ هَذَا الطَّرِيقِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The prayer of one who uses a toothstick (siwak) is better than seventy prayers without using a toothstick. This chain of narration is not strong, and it was narrated in that regard from Jubayr ibn Nufayr as a raised and transmitted hadith, and Allah knows best."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةُ سِوَاكٍ خَيْرٌ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ صَلَاةٍ بِغَيْرِ سِوَاكٍ فَهَذَا إِسْنَادٌ غَيْرُ قَوِيٍّ وَرُوِيَ فِي ذَلِكَ عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ مَرْفُوعًا مُرْسَلًا وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] And he said, "Indeed, when the servant stands to pray, the angel comes to him and stands behind him, listening to the recitation of the Quran, and draws near until his mouth is close to his ear. He continues to listen and draw near until he places his mouth upon it, and he does not recite a verse except that it is in the heart of the angel."  

وَقَالَ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا قَامَ يُصَلِّي أَتَاهُ الْمَلَكُ فَقَامَ خَلْفَهُ يَسْتَمِعُ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَدْنُو فَلَا يَزَالُ يَسْتَمِعُ وَيَدْنُو حَتَّى يَضَعَ فَاهُ عَلَى فِيهِ فَلَا يَقْرَأُ آيَةً إِلَّا كَانَتْ فِي جَوْفِ الْمَلَكِ
