Sunan Abi Dawud #46
كتاب الطهارة
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، يَرْفَعُهُ قَالَ «لَوْلاَ أَنْ أَشُقَّ، عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لأَمَرْتُهُمْ بِتَأْخِيرِ الْعِشَاءِ وَبِالسِّوَاكِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ».
Narrated Abu Hurayrah:
(the Prophet, sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) as saying: Were it not that I might oeverburdern the believers, I would order them to delay the night ('isha) prayer and use the tooth-stick at the time of every prayer.
