( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الْعَلَوِيُّ وَأَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ ( قَالَا ): أَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْمُحَمَّدَ آبَاذِيُّ، ثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ، ثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، ثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ قَالَ:
أُمِرْنَا بِالسِّوَاكِ وَقَالَ: " إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا قَامَ يُصَلِّي أَتَاهُ الْمَلَكُ، فَقَامَ خَلْفَهُ يَسْتَمِعُ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَدْنُو، فَلَا يَزَالُ يَسْتَمِعُ وَيَدْنُو حَتَّى يَضَعَ فَاهُ عَلَى فِيهِ، فَلَا يَقْرَأُ آيَةً إِلَّا كَانَتْ فِي جَوْفِ الْمَلَكِ

We were commanded to use the siwāk, and he said: "When a servant stands to pray, the angel comes to him and stands behind him, listening to the Quran and drawing near. He keeps listening and drawing near until he places his mouth upon his mouth, so that he does not recite a verse except that it enters the angel's belly.
