Remaining Sunnahs and etiquettes pertaining to miswak

*   Imam Shaafi’i رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه has stated, “Four things enhance the intellect: abstaining from useless conversation, use of miswak, company of pious people and acting upon your knowledge”^[1]

   *Miswak should be from peelu, olive, neem or similar trees with a bitter taste. The thickness of the miswak should be equal to that of the little finger.

*   Do not throw away a used miswak as it is a means to act upon a Sunnah. Rather, keep it somewhere respectfully, bury it or put it into the sea after tying it to a stone or something heavy.
