CLEANSING

1227

“The upright nature consists of ten practices:

Trimming the moustache

Letting the beard grow

Brushing the teeth

Cleaning the nostrils

Cutting the nails

Washing the cuticles

Removal of the hair under the armpits

Removal of pubic hair

Washing with water the polluted parts after relieving oneself."

The narrator of the Prophetic quotation said that he had forgotten the tenth but thinks that it might possibly have been rinsing the mouth.

Muslim with a chain up to Lady Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her, wife of the Prophet, Mother of the believers who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
