Volume 3 Book 31 Hadith 154

Volume 3, Book 31, Number 154:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “If somebody eats or drinks forgetfully then he should complete his fast, for what
he has eaten or drunk, has been given to him by Allah.” Narrated ‘Amir bin Rabi’a, “I saw the Prophet
cleaning his teeth with Siwak while he was fasting so many times as I can’t count.” And narrated Abu
Huraira, “The Prophet said, ‘But for my fear that it would be hard for my followers, I would have
ordered them to clean their teeth with Siwak on every performance of ablution.” The same is nar –
rated by Jabir and Zaid bin Khalid from the Prophet who did not differentiate between a fasting and
a nonfasting person in this respect (using Siwak).
Aisha said, “The Prophet said, “It (i.e. Siwak) is a purification for the mouth and it is a way of seek –
ing Allah’s pleasures.” Ata’ and Qatada said, “There is no harm in swallowing the resultant saliva.”

performs ablution like my present ablution and then offers two Rakat in which he does not think of
worldly things, all his previous sins will be forgiven.”
