أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لأَمَرْتُهُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Were it not that it would be too difficult for my Ummah, I would have commanded them to use the Siwak at (the time of) every Salah.”

কুতায়বা ইবনু সাঈদ (রহঃ) ... আবূ হুরায়রা (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ আমার উম্মতের জন্য যদি কষ্টকর মনে না করতাম তবে তাদেরকে প্রত্যেক সালাত (নামায/নামাজ) এর সময় মিসওয়াক করার নির্দেশ দিতাম।

ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ سے روایت ہے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: اگر میں اپنی امت کے لیے باعث مشقت نہ سمجھتا تو انہیں ہر نماز کے وقت مسواک کرنے کا حکم دیتا ۱؎۔

Telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Qutaibah bin Sa'id] dari [Malik] dari [Abu Zinad] dari [Al A'araj] dari [Abu Hurairah] dia berkata; "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Seandainya aku tidak khawatir memberatkan umatku, aku pasti memerintahkan mereka untuk bersiwak setiap kali shalat

Ebû Hüreyre (radıyallahü anh)’den rivâyete göre, Rasûlüllah (sallallahü aleyhi ve sellem) şöyle buyurdu: ağır gelmeyecek olsaydı, her namazdan önce misvak kullanmalarını emrederdim.) Cuma: 8; Dârimî, Tahara:

What it means

In this Hadīth, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) makes clear that were it not for his fear to cause difficulty and hardship for his followers, he would command and obligate them to use the tooth-stick with every ablution. But, out of his mercy and compassion towards them, he did not do that. Instead of prescribing it as an obligation, he made it a recommended act of Sunnah, whose performance brings reward, yet there is no punishment for failure to do it.
