The Book of Purification and its Sunnah
Sahih

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا بَحْرُ بْنُ كَنِيزٍ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَاجٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، قَالَ إِنَّ أَفْوَاهَكُمْ طُرُقٌ لِلْقُرْآنِ فَطَيِّبُوهَا بِالسِّوَاكِ ‏.‏
"Your mouths are the paths of the Qur'an, so perfume them with the tooth stick."
Narrated by It was narrated that 'Ali bin Abu Talib said:

Context

In this hadith, 'Ali bin Abu Talib narrates the importance of maintaining oral hygiene, particularly in relation to the recitation of the Qur'an. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) emphasized that our mouths serve as pathways for the Qur'an, thus encouraging the use of the miswak, a traditional tooth stick, to keep them clean and pleasant. This highlights the connection between physical cleanliness and spiritual practices.

Modern Application

Today, the principle of maintaining oral hygiene is crucial, especially for those who recite the Qur'an regularly. Using a miswak or toothbrush can be seen as a way to honor the act of recitation and ensure that our mouths are fresh and clean, reflecting our respect for the words of Allah.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Purification (Wudu/Taharah) because it emphasizes the importance of cleanliness in relation to the recitation of the Qur'an.
