English translation

2759. Anas bin Mālik said: "[The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ] fixed the time for us for paring the moustache, trimming the fingernails, shaving the pubic hairs and plucking the underarm hairs – that we not leave it for more than forty days." (Ṣaḥīḥ) [He said:] This is more correct than the first narration. Ṣadaqah bin Mūsā (a narrator in the chain) is not a Hāfīz according to them.

Arabic text

٢٧٥٩ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ ، عَنْ ‌أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: «وَقَّتَ» لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَصَّ الشَّارِبِ، وَتَقْلِيمَ الْأَظْفَارِ، وَحَلْقَ الْعَانَةِ، وَنَتْفَ الْإِبْطِ، لَا يُتْرَكُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا. هَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنَ الْحَدِيثِ الْأَوَّلِ، وَصَدَقَةُ بْنُ مُوسَى لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُمْ بِالْحَافِظِ.

Commentary

When the nails or the hair of a person that are trimmed or cut grow long, and their removal seems necessary, they should be cut, shaved or plucked; and the maximum period for doing so is within forty days; letting the nails and extra hair on the body grow for more than forty days is not allowed. According to a narration in Shu'b Al-Imān, the Prophet would clip his nails and trim his moustaches every Friday before leaving for Friday prayer.
