Ibn Umar (Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him)  said: “‘Make a regular practice of the Miswaak, for verily, it is healthy for the mouth and it is a Pleasure for the Creator (i.e. Allah is pleased with the Muslim who uses the Miswaak)’.” (Bukhari)

Anas (Allah be pleased with him)reported: The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said, “I stress upon you to use Miswak (tooth-stick).” (Bukhari)

Prophet (SAW) said : “A Salaah performed after using the Miswaak is seventy times superior to the Salaah performed without Miswaak.” (As Sunanul Kubraa)

Prophet (SAW) said: Two Raka’aats of Salaah after using the Miswaak is more beloved unto me than seventy Raka’aats without Miswaak.”  (As Sunanul Kubraa)

Prophet(SAW) said: “Had I not thought it difficult for my Ummah, I would have made it obligatory on them to use the Miswak (tooth-stick) before every Salat.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
