Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُصْعَبُ بْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عَائِشَةَ مَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصْنَعُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ قَالَتْ كَانَ يُصَلِّي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَإِذَا دَخَلَ تَسَوَّكَ.
English Translation
Musab ibn al-Miqdam told us, Isra’il told us, from al-Miqdam, from his father, that he asked Aisha what the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to do before he went out. She said: "He used to pray the two rak’ahs before Fajr, then go out to the prayer, and when he entered he would use the tooth-stick."
