«يا معشر المسلمين إن هذا يوم جعله الله عيداً فاغتسلوا، ومن كان عنده طيب فلا يضره أن يمس منه، وعليكم بالسواك»
A verbatim excerpt of the text, forty words at most; the full text is in the edition cited under sources
Summary
The first hadith in the chapter on the toothstick. Yahya transmits from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Ibn al-Sabbaq as a mursal: the Prophet ﷺ preached on a Friday, told them that God made that day a festival for Muslims, and ordered them to bathe, to use perfume if they had it, and to use the toothstick. The editor notes that Salih ibn Abi al-Akhdar connected it through al-Zuhri from Ibn al-Sabbaq from Ibn Abbas in Ibn Majah, a weak chain, while al-Bayhaqi says the sound version is mursal and cannot be connected. Ibn Abd al-Barr says nothing from Malik is sound on this except what is in the Muwatta, and Yazid ibn Sa'id al-Iskandarani's other chain is unsound for its weakness and confusion, so Malik's mursal report is the most sound. 1
