294. It was narrated from 'Ammâr bin Yâsir that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Part of the Fitrah is rinsing out the mouth, rinsing out the nostrils, using the tooth stick, trimming the mustache, clipping the nails, plucking the armpit hairs, shaving the pubic hairs, washing the joints, washing the private parts and circumcision.'"

Commentary
The Arabic word Intidâh used in the Hadîth means the sprinkling of water
on the lower garment. But the narrator also used the word Istinja to clarify that it means 'washing the private parts'. The rationale of the action lies in the fact that, if perchance a drop of urine trickles down the body unintentionally, the person concerned should not feel unduly bothered about it, but persuade himself that the dampness is from the water sprinkled on the lower garment. Anyhow, it is Allāh who knows best.
