5891. Narrated Abū Hurairah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "Five practices are characteristic of Al-Fitrah (i.e. Allah's Islamic Monotheism): circumcision, shaving the pubic hair, cutting the moustaches short, clipping the nails, and depilating the hair of the armpits." [See the F.N. of H. No.5889]. = Monotheism and As-Sunna of the Prophet ﷺ. (Literally, it means 'human nature'.) Religion of pure Islamic Monotheism (i.e. worshipping none but Allah). Fitra as a verb also means 'to create' - (See the Qur'an 30:30).

5891 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ المُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " الفِطْرَةُ خَمْسٌ: الخِتَانُ، وَالِاسْتِحْدَادُ، وَقَصُّ الشَّارِبِ، وَتَقْلِيمُ الأَظْفَارِ، وَنَتْفُ الآبَاطِ "
