It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), he says: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) using the miswak, then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave that miswak to the eldest person among the people and said: "Indeed, Jibreel (peace be upon him) has commanded me to give the miswak to the eldest person."
