English translation

52.[1] ‘Aishah narrated: “The Prophet of Allāh ﷺ would clean his teeth with the Siwāk, then he would give me the Siwāk in order to wash it. So I would first use it myself, then wash it and return it to him.” (Hasan)

Arabic text

52 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَنْبَسَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْكُوفِيُّ الْحَاسِبُ، حَدَّثَنِي كَثِيرٌ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: «كَانَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْتَاكُ، فَيُعْطِينِي السِّوَاكَ لِأَغْسِلَهُ، فَأَبْدَأُ بِهِ فَأَسْتَاكُ، ثُمَّ أَغْسِلُهُ وَأَدْفَعُهُ إِلَيْهِ»

Commentary

‘Aishah’s purpose was to seek blessing from the saliva of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, an act already sanctioned by Allāh’s Messenger himself. Note that blessings should be sought from the Messenger of Allāh only. This quality is unique to him alone.
