English translation
23. Zaid bin Khālid Al-Juhānī said, "I heard Allāh's Messenger ﷺ saying: 'If it were not that it would be difficult on my nation, then I would have ordered them to use the Siwāk for each prayer, and to delay the 'Ishā' prayer until the third of the night.'" He [Abū Salamah, one of the narrators] said: Zaid bin Khālid would attend the prayer in the Masjid and his Siwāk would be on his ear in the location of the pen on the ear of a writer. He would not get up to pray without cleaning his teeth, then returning it to its location.” (Hasan) Abū ‘Eisā said: This Hadith is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
