حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي أَوْ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لَأَمَرْتُهُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ.

Mu'awiyah narrated to us, he said: Za'idah narrated to us, from Muhammad - meaning Ibn 'Amr - from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet (peace be upon him) who said: "Were it not that I would burden my Ummah - or the believers - I would have ordered them to use the siwak (tooth-stick) at every prayer." 'Abdah, who is Ibn Sulayman, narrated to us, he said: Muhammad ibn 'Amr narrated to us and mentioned the same with his chain.
