Toothstick

Having cleaned yourself after relieving yourself, do not neglect to use a Toothstick, for it purifies the mouth, pleases the Lord, and displeases Satan.

Prophetic Saying:
“A prayer before which one has used a toothstick is better than seventy prayers without having used the toothstick” (Bayhaqi).

It is related from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

“Were I not afraid that I would cause hardship on my community, I would have ordered them to use the toothstick before every prayer” (Bukhari, Muslim).

He ﷺ also said:

“I was commanded to use the toothstick until I feared it would be made obligatory on me” (Ahmad).
