حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضى الله عنه سَمِعْتُ

النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «الْفِطْرَةُ خَمْسٌ الْخِتَانُ، وَالاِسْتِحْدَادُ، وَقَصُّ الشَّارِبِ، وَتَقْلِيمُ الأَظْفَارِ، وَنَتْفُ الآبَاطِ»

I heard the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) saying. “Five practices are characteristics of the Fitra: circumcision, shaving the pubic hair, cutting the moustaches short, clipping the nails, and depilating the hair of the armpits.”

আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-কে বলতে শুনেছি- ফিতরাত পাঁচটিঃ খাত্না করা, (নাভির নীচে) ক্ষুর ব্যবহার করা, গোঁফ ছোট করা, নখ কাটা ও বগলের পমশ উপড়ে ফেলা। [৫৮৮৯]

ہم سے احمد بن یونس نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے ابراہیم بن سعد نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا ہم سے ابن شہاب نے بیان کیا، ان سے سعید بن مسیب نے اور ان سے ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہ میں نے نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے سنا، آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ”پانچ چیزیں ختنہ کرانا، زیر ناف مونڈنا، مونچھ کترانا، ناخن ترشوانا اور بغل کے بال نوچنا پیدائشی سنتیں ہیں۔“

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ahmad bin Yunus] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibrahim bin Sa'd] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibnu Syihab] dari [Sa'id bin Musayyab] dari [Abu Hurairah] radliallahu 'anhu saya mendengar Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Sunnah-sunnah fitrah itu ada lima, yaitu; berkhitan, mencukur bulu kemaluan, memotong kumis, memotong kuku dan mencabut bulu ketiak

Ebu Hureyre'den rivayete göre o şöyle demiştir: "Ben Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'i şöyle buyururken dinledim: Fıtrat beştir: Sünnet olmak, etek traşı yapmak, bıyığı kesmek, tırnakları kesmek ve koltuk altlarını yolmak

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned five acts that belong to the religion of Islam and the practices of the messengers. First: Circumcision: This is to cut the foreskin of the glans of the male organ and to cut the tip of a female's clitoris. Second: Shaving the pubes. This is to cut the pubic hair, which grows around the sex organs. Third: trimming the mustache.

This is to trim the hair that grows on a man's upper lip in a way that makes the lip visible. Fourth: Clipping the nails. Fifth: Plucking the armpit hair.

What it teaches

  • The messengers' practices that Allah likes, is pleased with, and enjoins lead to perfection, purity, and beauty.
  • The legitimacy of observing these acts and not overlooking them.
  • These acts serve religious and worldly benefits, such as: improving appearance, cleaning the body, being heedful about purification, differing from the disbelievers, and complying with the commands of Allah.
  • Other Hadīths mention more acts of the Fitrah other than these five, like letting the beard grow and using the tooth-stick.
