O Ali! “O Ali! Brushing the teeth with a toothbrush is a recommendable practice since it cleans the mouth; improves vision; pleases the Merciful Lord; whitens the teeth; removes the mouth’s bad smell; strengthens the gums; stimulates the appetite; alleviates the phlegm; improves memory; increases the good deeds; and makes the angels happy.”

أنه قال في وصيته له: يا علي السواك من السنة، وهو مطهرة للفم، ويجلو البصر ويرضي الرحمن، ويبيض الاسنان، ويذهب بالحفر، ويشد اللثة، ويشهي الطعام ويذهب بالبلغم، ويزيد في الحفظ، ويضاعف الحسنات، وتفرح به الملائكة
