Besm Allah,
Assalamou Alikom Wrahmatou Allah,
Dear brothers and sisters,
I start with the first relatively forgotten sunnah
1. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "If it was not for the fact that I might have been overburdening my community - or the people - I would have ordered them to use the siwak for every prayer." (Agreed upon).
2. Shurayh ibn Hani' said, "I asked 'Aisha, What did the Prophet (PBUH) do first when he entered his house?' She replied, 'Use the siwak." (reported by Muslim).
3. Abu Musa al-Ashari said, "I visited the Prophet (PBUH) and the end of the siwak was on his tongue." (Agreed upon)
4. Aisha said, "The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, 'Ten things make up man's natural form: trimming the moustache, letting the beard grow, using the siwak, snuffing water up the nose, cutting the nails, washing the knuckles, removing hair from the armpits, shaving the pubic hair and using water in the lavatory.'" The narrator said, "I forgot the tenth. It could be rinsing the mouth." (reported by Muslim).
(*) twigs of certain trees that are used on a regular basis by Muslims for centuries (and all Prophets Peace upon Them) to maintain oral hygiene and gain the pleasure of Allah SWT. It is a "natural toothbrush." Not only does it provide spiritual benefits, but it is also beneficial to the everyday maintenance of one's mouth, gums, and teeth.
