looked at it, so I took the Siwak, cut it (chewed it with my teeth), shook it and made it soft (with
water), and then gave it to the Prophet (ﷺ) who cleaned his teeth with it. I had never seen Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
cleaning his teeth in a better way. After finishing the brushing of his teeth, he lifted his hand or his
finger and said thrice, “O Allah! Let me be with the highest companions,” and then died. `Aisha used
to say, “He died while his head was resting between my chest and chin.”

Sahih al-Bukhari 4243 (Book 64, Hadith 459)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
