مروي عن الأئمة المعصومين عليهم السلام في كتب الأدعية والزيارات المعتبرة.
Virtues, description, and recitation method of CLEANSING THE TEETH as recorded in Shia traditions.
CLEANSING THE TEETH
If you then intend to perform the ritual ablution (wudu'), you
may before that begin with brushing the teeth with the
miswak (a stick used for cleansing the teeth), because it
cleanse the mouth, removes phlegm, strengthens the
memory, increases the good deeds, and pleases the Exalted
Lord. A two-unit prayer that is preceded by cleansing the
teeth is more favorable than seventy-unit prayer without it. If
a miswak is not available, it is acceptably sufficient to use
one's finger (for cleansing the teeth).
