حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ

قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يَشُوصُ فَاهُ بِالسِّوَاكِ

Whenever the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) got up at night, he used to clean his mouth with Siwak.

হুযায়ফাহ (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেনঃ নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম যখন রাতে (সালাতের জন্য) উঠতেন তখন মিসওয়াক দিয়ে মুখ পরিষ্কার করতেন। (৮৮৯, ১১৩৬; মুসলিম ২/১৫, হাঃ ২৫৫, আহমাদ ২৩৪৭৫)

ہم سے عثمان بن ابی شیبہ نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے جریر نے منصور کے واسطے سے، وہ ابووائل سے، وہ حذیفہ سے روایت کرتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم جب رات کو اٹھتے تو اپنے منہ کو مسواک سے صاف کرتے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Utsman bin Abu Syaibah] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Jarir] dari [Manshur] dari [Abu Wa'il] dari [Hudzaifah] berkata, "Jika Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bangun di malam hari, beliau membersihkan mulutnya dengan siwak

Huzeyfe (bin el-Yeman r.a.) şöyle demiştir: "Nebi Sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem geceleyin kalkınca ağzını misvakla temizlerdi. Tekrar:

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) would often use the Siwāk and command the Muslims to use it. This practice was confirmed at certain times, like getting up during the night, as he (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) would brush and cleanse his mouth with the Siwāk.

What it teaches

  • The Hadīth affirms that using the Siwāk is prescribed under the Shariah after sleeping at night, as sleep entails a change to the odor of the mouth and the Siwāk is a means of cleaning.
  • It emphasizes that using the Siwāk is prescribed under the Shariah whenever the mouth has a foul smell, based on the above meaning.
  • Cleanliness in general is prescribed under the Shariah and it is part of the Sunnah of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and one of the sublime etiquettes.
  • The Siwāk is used for the whole mouth, including the teeth, the gums, and the tongue.
  • The Siwāk is a stick cut from the Arak tree or other trees. It is used to clean the mouth and teeth, freshen the mouth, and remove bad odors.
