حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي الْعَاتِكَةِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ تَسَوَّكُوا فَإِنَّ السِّوَاكَ مَطْهَرَةٌ لِلْفَمِ مَرْضَاةٌ لِلرَّبِّ وَمَا جَاءَنِي جِبْرِيلُ إِلاَّ أَوْصَانِي بِالسِّوَاكِ حَتَّى لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ يُفْرَضَ عَلَىَّ وَعَلَى أُمَّتِي وَلَوْلاَ أَنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَفَرَضْتُهُ لَهُمْ وَإِنِّي لأَسْتَاكُ حَتَّى لَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ أُحْفِيَ مَقَادِمَ فَمِي ‏"‏ .

Narrator: Abu Umamah

English translation
It was narrated from Abu Umamah that: The Messenger of Allah said: "Use the tooth stick, for the tooth stick purifies the mouth and is pleasing to the Lord. Jibril never came to me but he advised me to use the tooth stick, until I feared that it would be made obligatory for me and my Ummah. Were it not that I fear that it would be too difficult for my Ummah, I would have enjoined it upon them. And I use the tooth stick until I fear that I may make the front of my mouth sore.' (i.e. my gums) (or cause my teeth to fall out due to brushing them so often)
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। আবূ উমামাহ (রাঃ) থেকে বণিত। রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেনঃ তোমরা মিসওয়াক করো। কেননা মিসওয়াক মুখ পবিত্র ও পরিষ্কার করে এবং মহান প্রভুর সন্তুষ্টি লাভের উপায়। আমার কাছে যখনই জিবরীল (আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম) এসেছেন তখনই আমাকে মিসওয়াক করার উপদেশ দিয়েছেন। শেষে আমার আশঙ্কা হয় যে, তা আমার ও আমার উম্মাতের জন্য ফরয করা হবে। আমি যদি আমার উম্মাতের জন্য কষ্টকর হওয়ার আশঙ্কা না করতাম, তাহলে তাদের জন্য তা ফরয করে দিতাম। আমি এত বেশি মিসওয়াক করি যে, আমার মাড়িতে ঘা হওয়ার আশঙ্কা হয়।
