Benefits Of Miswak Hadith

The Prophet SAW stated that tooth stick has two great benefits as contained in the hadeeth of Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her.

He SAW said, “The tooth stick cleanses and purifies the mouth and pleases the Lord”. “Purifies the mouth,” that is, it purifies the mouth from dirt, odour and other harmful matters.

His saying, “the mouth” encompasses the teeth, gums and tongue as contained in the hadeeth of Abu Musa that he entered upon the Prophet SAW while he held the end of the tooth stick with his tongue.

The second benefit: It pleases the Lord. That is, using tooth stick is one of the means of a slave achieving the Pleasure of Allah. Tooth stick is strongly emphasized in some aspects of life, but it is generally recommended at all times.

It is strongly recommended when one wakes up from sleep. This is supported by the hadeeth of Hudhaifah, may Allah be pleased with him, that whenever the Prophet SAW wakes up, he would rub his teeth with a tooth stick.

Similarly, it is supported by the hadeeth of Aishah that they would prepare a tooth stick and water for making ablution for him; thus, whenever Allah wished to awaken him from his sleep at night, he would brush his teeth with a tooth stick and perform ablution.

This is recommended when one wakes up from sleep during the night or day; the mouth usually change (after sleep), so it is good to use the tooth stick.It is also recommended when a person enters his house to use the tooth stick.

Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, was asked, “What is the first thing the Prophet SAW would do when he entered his house? She replied, “He would use a tooth stick.”

Thirdly, using the tooth stick before Salat. If one wants to observe obligatory or voluntary Prayer, with bowing and prostration, or Funeral prayer, it is recommended to use a tooth stick.

This is because the Prophet SAW said, “Had I not thought it difficult for my Ummah, I would have commanded them to use the tooth-stick before every Salat”.

Similarly, it is emphatically recommended before ablution, which should be done while rinsing the mouth, before it or after it; it should be used during ablution as reported from the Prophet SAW.

The scholars, may Allah shower them with blessings, added that the mouth usually changes after eating or drinking milk or similar fatty substances, hence it is recommended to use a tooth stick because it purifies the mouth.

All the same, the tooth stick is Sunnah and it is emphasized in some instances. However, it is legislated at all times from the Sunnah perspective, even it is recommended for the fasting person after midday for he is similar to other people.

As for one who dislikes it among the people of knowledge, there is no proof for his saying. The correct opinion is that the fasting person can use a tooth stick at any time of the day.Allah alone grants success.
