Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

HOW TO HOLD THE MISWAK

(4) The miswak should be held in such a manner that the small finger is below the miswak and the thumb is below the tip of it. The other finger should be on its upper side. [Shami]

The miswak should be rubbed on the teeth from right to left and back. On the tongue it should be rubbed lengthwise. The inner and the outer sides of the teeth, the jaws and the upper and the lower sides of the mouth should also be clean with the miswak. [Tahavi]
