Arabic text

498 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَضْمِضُوا مِنَ اللَّبَنِ؛ فَإِنَّ لَهُ دَسَمًا»

Commentary

Islam lays great emphasis on cleanliness. Hence it is, that rinsing the mouth and using the tooth stick have been made part of ablution. Traces of greasiness left by our eating and drinking are injurious for health. One must, therefore, be extremely particular about cleansing his mouth after drinking milk or eating greasy food.
