[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "If it were not difficult for my ummah (community), I would have made it obligatory for them to use the siwak (tooth stick) along with ablution." Abu Abdullah Al-Rahman said: "This is a mistake."  

الكبرى للنسائي:٣٠٢٦أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَفَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِمُ السِّوَاكَ مَعَ الْوُضُوءِ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا خَطَأٌ

[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."  

البيهقي:١٤٨وَأنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَمْشَاذٍ الْعَدْلُ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْقَاضِي ثنا عَارِمُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ الْحَجَبِيُّ قَالَا ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ السَّرَّاجُ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

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