English translation
49. Abū Burdah narrated from his father.[1] Musad-dad (in his version) said: “We came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, asking him to provide us with riding animals (for Jihād). I saw him using the Siwāk upon his tongue.” Sulaimān (in his version) said: “I entered upon the Prophet ﷺ while he was using the Siwāk. He had placed the Siwāk upon the tip of his tongue, and he was saying: ‘Eh, Eh,’ making a gagging sound.” (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū Dāwūd said: Musad-dad said: “This was a long Hadīth which was abridged.”
