Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عَلَيْهِ وَسلم: «تَحت كل شَعْرَة جَنَابَةٌ فَاغْسِلُوا الشَّعْرَ وَأَنْقُوا الْبَشْرَةَ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَالتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ وَقَالَ التِّرْمِذِيُّ: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ وَجِيهٍ الرَّاوِي وَهُوَ شيخ لَيْسَ بذلك

Translation

Abū Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah said: ‘Under every hair there is sexual impurity, so wash the hair and cleanse the skin thoroughly.’

Abū Dāwūd, al-Tirmidhī, and Ibn Mājah transmitted it. Al-Tirmidhī called it gharīb and said that its transmitter, al-Ḥārith ibn Wajīh, was a shaykh whose reliability was not strong.
