فِي السِّوَاكِ اثْنَتَا عَشَرَ خَصْلَةً هُوَ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ وَ مَطْهَرَةٌ لِلْفَمِ وَ مَجْلَاةٌ لِلْبَصَرِ وَ يُرْضِي الرَّبَّ وَ يَذْهَبُ بِالْبَلْغَمِ وَ يَزِيدُ فِي الْحِفْظِ وَ يُبَيِّضُ الْأَسْنَانَ وَ يُضَاعِفُ الْحَسَنَاتِ وَ يَذْهَبُ بِالْحَفْرِ وَ يَشُدُّ اللِّثَةَ وَ يُشَهِّي الطَّعَامَ وَ تَفْرَحُ بِهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ .
Translation
From him, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ubeydullah Al Dahqan, from Dorost, from Ibn Sinan, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘In brushing of the teeth are twelve qualities – It is from the Sunnah, and a cleansing for the mouth, and a polishing for the vision, and a Pleasure of the Lord<sup>azwj</sup>, and it removes the phlegm, and increases in the memorisation, and it whitens the teeth, and it amplifies the Rewards, and removes the cavities, and strengthens the gums, and it makes one desirous of the food, and the Angels are happy with it’.
