The Sunnah & Reward of Miswak

The Sunnah & Reward of The Miswak

1. "One who imitates One sunnah of mine, the sunnah of using the miswak, as a result of this action he will remember the Kalima at the time of death."

2. Abdullah bin Mas'ood (Radi Allah Anhu) once called out; "come let me teach you a piece of knowledge that will make you successful in the hereafter."

3. At this all of the Sahaba gathered around, anxious to know what piece of knowledge was about to be revealed.

4. Abdullah bin Mas'ood (Radi Allah Anhu) reached into his pocket & took out his Miswak & said "come let tell you how to attain Jannah, do you know how one should hold a Miswak?" He then held the Miswak placing his small finger at its lower end & his middle three fingers on the upper part & then stroked his teeth with it.

5. He then said: "He who holds the Miswaak in this way, just as the Master (Salla Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) held it & brushes his teeth with it, I Mas'ood bear witness to the fact that he will surely & most certainly enter Jannah."

6. Keep the Miswak with you, by using it the reward of ones salaah will increase seventy fold.
