undoubtedly, I use Miswak to such an extent that I feared lest I waste my front teeth.’ (Sunan Ibn Majah, vol. 1, pp. 1186, Hadees 289)

Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen, Sayyiduna ‘Ali-ul-Murtada کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم has narrated: [The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم] would have made the use of Miswak Fard with every Wudu and in some narrations the word ‘Fard’ has also been found. (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Awsat, vol. 1, pp. 341, Hadees 1238)

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah and Sayyiduna Zayd Bin Khalid Juhani رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی عَـنْـهُمَا have narrated: [The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم] would have ordered to use Miswak with every Salah. (Jami’ Tirmizi, vol. 14, pp. 100, Hadees 22, 23)

i.e. [The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم] would have made it Fard (mandatory), that is, there would have been no Salah without using [brushing teeth with] Miswak. It has been learnt that Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ made the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم the one who commands, that is, it is up to him whether he makes [something] Fard or not. (Mirat-ul-Manajih, pp. 280)

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has said: Since I heard this saying of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, I use Miswak before going to bed, after getting up and before eating a meal. (Shu’ab-ul-Iman, vol. 4, pp. 278, Hadees 2516)

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has narrated: The blessed companions    رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی عَـنْـهُم used to keep Miswak on their ears and used to do [brush teeth with] Miswak before every Salah. (Bazl-ul-Majhood, vol. 3, pp. 1)

It is stated about Sayyiduna Zayd Bin Khalid Juhani رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ that he used to come to Masjid with a Miswak on his ear as a pen is seen on the ear of a Munshee (clerk); whenever he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ offered Salah he used [brushing teeth with] Miswak first and then kept it at the same place.

(Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 1, pp. 280)

Sayyiduna Imam ‘Abdul Wahhab Sha’rani رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: We were asked to make promise to use [brush teeth with] Miswak regularly before performing every Wudu and offering every Salah, though if majority of us have to hang Miswak on a string around our necks or tie/hang it with an ‘Imamah provided that ‘Imamah is tied around the bandana. If a person is wearing a Topi, he
