11. Fasting
١١۔ كِتَابُ الصِّيَامِ
[Machine] I cannot estimate or count how many times I have seen the Prophet of Allah ﷺ performing miswak while fasting.
مَا أُحْصِي وَلَا أَعُدُّ مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَسَوَّكُ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The best qualities of the fasting person are using the Siwak (toothstick) and being consistent in its use. There is nothing more effective and restraining than it, and Aasim bin 'Ubaydullah is not strong in physique, and Allah knows best. As for the hadith that..."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَيْرُ خِصَالِ الصَّائِمِ السِّوَاكُ مُجَالِدٌ غَيْرُهُ أَثْبَتُ مِنْهُ وَعَاصِمُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ لَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ وَأَمَّا الْحَدِيثُ الَّذِي
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "This hadith is narrated exclusively by Abu Ishaq Ibrahim ibn Baytar, also known as Ibrahim ibn Abdul Rahman Qadi Khwarazm. He narrated it in Balkh from Aasim al-Ahwal al-Manakir. It cannot be relied upon, as it has been reported from him in another way that does not mention the beginning or end of the day."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَهَذَا يَنْفَرِدُ بِهِ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ بَيْطَارٍ وَيُقَالُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَاضِي خُوَارَزْمَ حَدَّثَ بِبَلْخٍ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ بِالْمَنَاكِيرِ لَا يُحْتَجُّ بِهِ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْهُ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ لَيْسَ فِيهِ ذِكْرُ أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ وَآخِرِهِ
[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ , Abu Ahmad Ibrahim said that his general hadiths are not preserved.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ هَذَا عَامَّةُ أَحَادِيثِهِ غَيْرُ مَحْفُوظَةٍ
[Machine] I have never seen anyone more disciplined than you while fasting than you in the years I have known you," he said with a dry stick in his hand.
مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَدًا أَدْأَبَ سِوَاكًا وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ مِنْ عُمَرَ أَرَاهُ قَالَ بِعُودٍ قَدْ ذَوِيَ قَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ يَعْنِي يَبِسَ
أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَسْتَاكُ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ
