Apart from The Sunnah of Drinking
Hadith 11: It is on the authority of Hadrat Ali (Radi Allahu Anhu) that Rasoolullah (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said, ‘When a servant (believer) performs Miswak and then stands for Salaah, an Angel stands behind him and listens to his Qir’at (recitation). The Angel then comes so close to him, that it places its mouth against the mouth of that person (the Namaazi).’ [Musnad al-Bazzar, Vol. 2, Page 614, Hadith 603]
Hadith 12: Whenever the Holy Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) would enter his blessed home, he would use the Miswak first. [Sahih Muslim, Vol. 1, Page 152, Hadith 152]
Hadith 13: Whenever the Exalted Prophet (SallAllahu Alayhi wa Sallam) would wake up from his sleep, he would use the Miswak. [Sunan Abu Dawud, Page 54, Hadith 57]
Hadith 14: Make use of Miswak necessarily because it cleans your mouth and pleases Allah. [Musnad Imam Ahmad, Vol. 2, Page 438, Hadith 5869]
Hujjatul Islam Imam Muhammad al-Ghazali (Alayhir Rahmah) says, “Whilst using a Miswak, make intention to clean mouth for the recitation of the Holy Quran and for the Zikr (Remembrance) of Allah.” [Ihya al-Uloom, Vol. 1, Page 182]
It is quoted in the margins of Tahtawi: “Use of Miswak strengthen memory and eyesight, cures headaches and relieves the veins in the head, eliminates sputum, improves digestion, increases brain power, increases birth rate, delays aging and strengthens the back.” [Hashiya al-Tahtawi Ala Maraqil Falah, Page 69]
Sadr al-Shariah Allama Amjad Ali Al-Aazami stated: The Masha’ikh (Pious Grandmasters) have mentioned that a person (believer) who is habitual of making Miswak, will be blessed with the opportunity of being able to recite the Kalima at the time of his death and that person who uses opium, will not be blessed with the opportunity of reciting the Kalima at the time of his death. [Bahar-e-Shari’at, Vol. 2, Page 288]
