Using the Miswaak before Reciting the Qur’aan Majeed

عن علي رضي الله عنه أنه أمر بالسواك وقال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إن العبد إذا تسوك ثم قام يصلي قام الملك خلفه فتسمع لقراءته فيدنو منه – أو كلمة نحوها – حتى يضع فاه على فيه فما يخرج من فيه شيء من القرآن إلا صار في جوف الملك فطهروا أفواهكم للقرآن. رواه البزار بإسناد جيد لا بأس به وروى ابن ماجه بعضه موقوفا ولعله أشبه (الترغيب والترهيب 1/230)

Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “When a person makes miswaak and then stands to perform salaah, an angel stands behind him and listens attentively to his recitation of the Qur’aan. The angel then draws close to him until it places its mouth upon his mouth. Whatever portion of the Qur’aan he then recites is protected in the belly of the angel (and thereafter secured by Allah Ta‘ala). Hence, ensure that you cleanse your mouth before reciting the Qur’aan.”

Receiving Seventy Rewards

Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) reported, “Whoever sends salutations upon Nabi (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) once, Allah Ta‘ala and His angels will send seventy mercies and blessings upon him in return of his one Durood. Hence, whoever wishes to increase his Durood should increase it, and whoever wishes to decrease his Durood should decrease it (i.e. if he wants to earn great rewards, then he should increase his Durood).”
