[Machine] I met the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one night and he ordered a stick to be brought, which was then sharpened. He took the stick and started scraping his own teeth with it, and then Bilal came to call him for prayer. He threw away the stick and asked, "Why are his hands dirty?" I said, "It's because he had just fulfilled a promise and cleaned his teeth with a miswak (a teeth cleaning twig)."  

الطبراني:١٨٢٥٧ – حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ غَنَّامٍ ثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو صَخْرَةَ جَامِعُ بْنُ شَدَّادٍ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ

ضِفْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَأَمَرَ بِجَنْبٍ فَشُوِيَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ الشَّفْرَةَ فَجَعَلَ يَجُزُّ بِهَا مِنْهُ فَجَاءَ بِلَالٌ يُؤْذِنُهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَأَلْقَىَ الشَّفْرَةَ وَقَالَ «مَا لَهُ تَرِبَتْ يَدَاهُ؟» قَالَ وَكَانَ شَارِبِي قَدْ وَفَي فَقَصَّهُ عَلَى سِوَاكٍ

One night I became the guest of the Prophet ﷺ. He ordered that a piece of mutton be roasted, and it was roasted. He then took a knife and began to cut the meat with it for me. In the meantime Bilal came and called him for prayer. He threw the knife and said: What happened! may his hands be smeared with earth! He then stood for offering prayer. Al-Anbari added: My moustaches became lengthy. He trimmed them by placing a took-stick; or he said: I shall trim your moustaches by placing the tooth-stick there. Al-Anbari said: My moustaches became lengthy. He trimmed them by placing a tooth-stick ; or he said: I shall trim your moustaches by placing the tooth-stick there.
