Use siwak when cleaning teeth

The hadith narrated by Abu Huraira states that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) wished to make the use of siwak, a toothbrush made from a twig, obligatory for his followers. However, he refrained from doing so out of consideration and mercy towards them as he was aware that it would be difficult and burdensome on them. This hadith teaches us about the importance of considering others’ difficulties and hardships before making decisions or issuing orders. It also highlights how merciful and compassionate our beloved Prophet was towards his followers. He always put their needs first before anything else even if it meant foregoing something beneficial or important in order to ease their burden.
