عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ هَانِيءٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللّهُ عَنْهَا: بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ كَانَ يَبْدَأُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا دَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ؟ قَالَتْ: بِالسِّوَاكِ. رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ.
Shurayh ibn Hani reported: I asked Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): With what would the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) begin when he entered his house? She said: With the siwak. Reported by Muslim.

استحباب الاستياك، والترغيب لمن دخل منزله أن يبدأ بالسواك، فإنّه أزيد في طيب فمه، وأدعى لمعاشرة أهله، ويذهب ما في فمه من تغير رائحته.
The recommendation of using the siwak, and encouraging whoever enters his home to begin with it, for it makes his mouth more fragrant, is more conducive to companionship with his family, and removes any change in the odor of his mouth.
