A time limit has been prescribed for us for clipping the moustache, cutting the nails, plucking hair under the armpits, shaving the pubes, that it should not be neglected far more than forty nights.

أَنَسٌ وُقِّتَ لَنَا فِي قَصِّ الشَّارِبِ وَتَقْلِيمِ الأَظْفَارِ وَنَتْفِ الإِبْطِ وَحَلْقِ الْعَانَةِ أَنْ لاَ نَتْرُكَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً

وَقَّتَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَلْقَ الْعَانَةِ وَتَقْلِيمَ الأَظْفَارِ وَقَصَّ الشَّارِبِ وَنَتْفَ الإِبْطِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا مَرَّةً
