The Virtue of the Miswak and the Hadith of Praying with a Miswak
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I seek forgiveness from Allah. Is there a hadith that says praying with a miswak is better than sixty prayers without a miswak? And is the miswak used with the right hand or the left?
Answer:
There are many hadiths regarding the virtue of the miswak. Imam al-San'ani (may Allah have mercy on him) stated in his commentary on Bulugh al-Maram that there are one hundred hadiths from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on this matter, and he is certain of this. It is a confirmed Sunnah and one of the Sunnahs of the Prophets (peace be upon them). It is better than praying without a miswak because the miswak removes the smell of the mouth and makes the breath pleasant. A person hastens to the Qur'an. In... Yes. A pleasant smell, and cooking becomes pleasant-smelling. Likewise, the smell is removed from the worshippers and the angels. It has great benefits, so a person should not neglect it.
As for specifying that it is better than a certain number of prayers, this is not authentic to my knowledge. It was reported, but it is not authentic to my knowledge. Yes.
