It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Zubair that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: If I did not fear hardship for my ummah, I would have made the use of miswak obligatory upon them for every prayer.

Hazrat Sha'bi says that the miswak cleans the mouth and sharpens the eyesight.

A companion narrates that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: If I did not fear hardship for my ummah, I would have made the use of the miswak obligatory for every prayer just as ablution is.

Hazrat Abu Ayyub narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to use the miswak several times during the night.

Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says that when any of you gets up at night, he should use the miswak. Because when a person gets up at night, uses the miswak, then performs ablution, and then stands for prayer, an angel stands behind him and listens to his recitation of the Qur'an. Then the angel gradually comes so close to him that he places his mouth upon his mouth. Thus, whenever he recites a verse, that verse enters into the angel's belly.

Hazrat Hakam says that I stayed as a guest with Hazrat Mujahid; he used to observe the practice of miswak more regularly than anyone else.

Hazrat Yazid bin Asam narrates that Ummul Momineen Hazrat Maimunah bint Harith’s miswak used to remain immersed in water. When she would finish her prayer or any other engagement, she would use the miswak.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Ayyub Ansari that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Four things are from the practices of the Messengers: applying perfume, marriage, using the miswak, and applying henna.

It is narrated from Hazrat Hassan bin Atiyyah (that the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said): Wudu is a part of faith, and miswak is a part of wudu. If I did not fear hardship for my ummah, I would have commanded them to use the miswak before every prayer. The two rak'ahs performed after using the miswak are seventy times superior to those rak'ahs performed without using the miswak.

Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that being engaged in using the miswak is more beloved to me than having two servant slaves. Hazrat Abdullah bin Dinar said that whenever Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) ate food, he would use the miswak.
