10 Benefits Of Using Siwāk
The Messenger of Allah (Peace And Blessings Of Allah Be Upon Him) said,
“Use the siwāk, for there are ten benefits in it -
1) it purifies the mouth,
2) pleases the Lord,
3) angers Satan,
4) is loved by the Merciful and by the guardian angels,
5) strengthens the gums,
6) eliminates phlegm,
7) gets rid of the bad taste from the mouth,
8) brightens the eyes, eliminates bad breath,
9) and is from my sunnah.”
10) He then added, “One prayer after [using] the siwāk is better than seventy prayers without [using] it.”

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَ لَيِّنًا هَيِّنًا سَهْلًا حَرَّمَهُ اللهُ عَلَى النَّارِ

Shaykh Sha'rawi's advice to his son (when his son was getting married):
"My son, this woman left behind a father, a mother, brothers & sisters— and she came so she could be yours alone, so take up the role of all these [figures] for her."
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“The people who are not tested in this Dunyā will wish their skins were cut up when they see the rewards for those who were tested.”
