47. Abū Salamah bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān said that Zaid bin Khālid Al-Juḥanī said: "I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'Were it not that I feared to make matters burdensome for my nation, I would have commanded them the use of Siwāk at (the time) of every prayer.'" Then Abū Salamah said: "So I would see Zaid sit in the Masjid with his Siwāk (behind) his ear in the same place that a scribe places his pen. Every time he would stand up to pray, he would use the Siwāk." (Hasan)

47 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي، لَأَمَرْتُهُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ»، قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ: فَرَأَيْتُ زَيْدًا يَجْلِسُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، وَإِنَّ السِّوَاكَ مِنْ أُذُنِهِ مَوْضِعَ الْقَلَمِ مِنْ أُذُنِ الْكَاتِبِ، فَكُلَّمَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ اسْتَاكَ
