Chapter on The Siwak (Tooth-stick)

Zujajat al-Masabih 395Volume 1

English

From Aisha, she said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Ten things are part of the fitrah (natural disposition): trimming the mustache, letting the beard grow, using the siwak, inhaling water into the nose, trimming the nails, washing the joints of the fingers, plucking the armpits, shaving the pubic hair, and performing istinja (cleaning with water after relieving oneself). The narrator said: I forgot the tenth, unless it is rinsing the mouth." [Narrated by Muslim, and in another narration: "Circumcision" replaces letting the beard grow] Abu Dawood narrated something similar from Ammar bin Yasir.
