Sunan Ibn Majah 338 (Book 1, Hadith 72) #29690
Applying Kohl and Swallowing Food Particles

SUMMARY: The hadith encourages people to apply kohl an odd number of times and to swallow any food particles dislodged from between the teeth.

A similar report was narrated by 'Abdul-Malik bin As-Sabbah with a similar chain, with the additional words: "Whoever applies kohl to his eyes, let him add it an odd number of times. Whoever does that has done well, and whoever does not, there is no harm in it. And whoever dislodges (a particle of food from between the teeth) by dislodging it with his tongue, let him swallow it".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ نَحْوَهُ وَزَادَ فِيهِ ‏ "‏ وَمَنِ اكْتَحَلَ فَلْيُوتِرْ مَنْ فَعَلَ فَقَدْ أَحْسَنَ وَمَنْ لاَ فَلاَ حَرَجَ وَمَنْ لاَكَ فَلْيَبْتَلِعْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith encourages people to apply kohl, which is a type of eyeliner, an odd number of times. It also encourages people to swallow any food particles that may be dislodged from between the teeth. This suggests that it is important for Muslims to take care of their hygiene and appearance in order to maintain a good level of cleanliness. Additionally, this hadith teaches us about moderation in all aspects of life; even when applying something as simple as kohl, we should not overdo it or go overboard with it. Furthermore, this hadith also teaches us about being mindful when eating; if there are any food particles stuck between our teeth, we should try our best to remove them before swallowing them down.
