5043. It was narrated from 'Aishah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Ten things are part of the Fitrah: Trimming the mustache, trimming the nails, washing the joints, letting the beard grow, using the Siwāk, rinsing the nose, plucking the armpit hairs, shaving the pubes, and washing with water (after relieving oneself)." Muṣ'ab bin Shaibah said: "I have forgotten the tenth, unless it was rinsing the mouth." (Sahīh)

Commentary
1. Elaborate details concerning the majority of these elements have been fully described in Kitâbut Tahârah or the Book of Purification. (See Nos 15 to 30)
2. Barâjim is the plural of the term Barjam. The term Burjumah signifies all such joints upon which dirt collects. The expression Burjumah literally means a knuckle or finger joint, the outer, or the inner joint or place of division of the fingers, or the backs of the finger bones. The same refers to toes. If proper attention is not paid, water does not reach these bodily parts.
