293. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Ten things are connected to the Fitrah: trimming the mustache, letting the beard grow, using the tooth stick, rinsing out the nostrils with water, clipping the nails, washing the joints, plucking the armpit hairs, shaving the pubic hairs, washing the private parts with water.'" (Sahih)
(One of the narrators) Zakariyyâ said: "Mus'ab said: 'I have forgotten the tenth thing, but it may have been rinsing out the mouth.'" (Sahih)

Commentary
'Letting the beard grow' means that, unlike the mustache, it should not be trimmed or shaved. Shaving the beard is unlawful and the person doing it is a transgressor, since he violates the dictates of those Ahâdîth that make the growing of beard mandatory
Finger joints also collect filth. One, therefore, needs to be particular about cleaning them well during ablution. Similarly, the other parts of body that are more likely to collect filth need special attention during a bath. It is necessary because, if no special care is taken, bath water at times fails to reach those spots, and the bath remains incomplete.
