وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " عَشْرَ مِنَ الْفِطْرَةِ: قَصُّ الشَّارِبِ وَإِعْفَاءُ اللِّحْيَةِ وَالسِّوَاكُ وَاسْتِنْشَاقُ الْمَاءِ وَقَصُّ الْأَظْفَارِ وَغَسْلُ الْبَرَاجِمِ وَنَتْفُ الْإِبِطِ وَحَلْقُ الْعَانَةِ وَانْتِقَاصُ الْمَاءِ) يَعْنِي الِاسْتِنْجَاءَ - قَالَ الرَّاوِي: ونسيت الْعَاشِرَة إِلَّا أَن تكون الْمَضْمَضَة. رَوَاهُ مُسلم وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ «الْخِتَانُ» بَدَلَ «إِعْفَاءُ اللِّحْيَةِ» لَمْ أَجِدْ هَذِهِ الرِّوَايَةَ فِي «الصَّحِيحَيْنِ» وَلَا فِي كِتَابِ الْحُمَيْدِيِّ وَلَكِنْ ذَكَرَهَا صَاحِبُ «الْجَامِعِ» وَكَذَا الْخطابِيّ فِي «معالم السّنَن» : عَن أبي دَاوُد بِرِوَايَة عمار بن يَاسر
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
ʿĀʾisha reported that the Messenger of God said: ‘Ten practices are part of the fitra: trimming the moustache, letting the beard grow, using the tooth-stick, drawing water into the nose, trimming the nails, washing the finger joints, plucking the armpit hair, shaving the pubic hair, and cleansing with water’—that is, cleaning oneself after relieving oneself. The narrator said: ‘I have forgotten the tenth; perhaps it was rinsing the mouth.’ Muslim transmitted it.
Another version has ‘circumcision’ instead of ‘letting the beard grow.’ The compiler says: ‘I did not find this version in the two Ṣaḥīḥ collections or al-Ḥumaydī’s book, but the author of al-Jāmiʿ mentioned it, as did al-Khaṭṭābī in Maʿālim al-Sunan, transmitting it from Abū Dāwūd through ʿAmmār ibn Yāsir.’
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The accompanying Arabic grading lists two ṣaḥīḥ (sound) grades. The Arabic list gives nine practices and the narrator says he forgot the tenth, suggesting mouth-rinsing. The paragraph about the circumcision variant is the compiler’s source note, not part of the prophetic wording.
