'I then brought him a utensil full of water and he performed wudhu.'(Abu Dawood) Guidelines for Using the Siwak *One should wash his Siwak after using it. A'ishah, with whom Allah is pleased, said:
'The Prophet () would use the Siwak and then give it to me to wash it. I would use it before washing it, and then give it to him.' (Abu Dawood) *The Scholars are at variance whether the use of one's finger instead of Siwak is sufficient if one cannot find a siwak? According to the preponderant opinion it is not sufficient, and one will not be applying the Sunnah when doing this.
