Arabic text

10 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مَعْمَرًا، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " خَمْسٌ مِنَ الْفِطْرَةِ: قَصُّ الشَّارِبِ، وَنَتْفُ الْإِبْطِ، وَتَقْلِيمُ الْأَظْفَارِ، وَالِاسْتِحْدَادُ، وَالْخِتَانُ "

Commentary

Paring the nails has been considered among the acts of Fitrah because dirt and filth particles accumulate under unclipped nails; such an accumulation, to be sure, hinders purification. Also, purely on an aesthetic note, unclipped nails betray a lack of good hygiene and are unpleasant to look at.
