English narration

Narrated by عائشة بنت أبي بكر الصديق

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Ten are the acts according to fitrah (nature): clipping the moustache, letting the beard grow, using the tooth-stick, cutting the nails, washing the finger joints, plucking the hair under the arm-pits, shaving the pubes, and cleansing one's private parts (after easing or urinating) with water. The narrator said: I have forgotten the tenth, but it may have been rinsing the mouth.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ ، عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ شَيْبَةَ ، عَنْ طَلْقِ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "

عَشْرٌ مِنَ الْفِطْرَةِ : قَصُّ الشَّارِبِ ، وَإِعْفَاءُ اللِّحْيَةِ ، وَالسِّوَاكُ ، وَالِاسْتِنْشَاقُ بِالْمَاءِ ، وَقَصُّ الْأَظْفَارِ ، وَغَسْلُ الْبَرَاجِمِ ، وَنَتْفُ الْإِبِطِ ، وَحَلْقُ الْعَانَةِ ، وَانْتِقَاصُ الْمَاءِ يَعْنِي الِاسْتِنْجَاءَ بِالْمَاءِ

" ، قَالَ زَكَرِيَّا : قَالَ مُصْعَبٌ : وَنَسِيتُ الْعَاشِرَةَ ، إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ الْمَضْمَضَةَ .
