Hadith 8216
عَنْ أَبِي وَاصِلٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لَقِيتُ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَصَافَحَنِي فَرَأَى فِي أَظْفَارِي طُولًا فَقَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْأَلُ أَحَدُكُمْ عَنْ خَبَرِ السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ يَدَعُ أَظْفَارَهُ كَأَظَافِرِ الطَّيْرِ يَجْتَمِعُ فِيهَا الْجَنَابَةُ وَالْخَبَثُ وَالتَّفَثُ وَلَمْ يَقُلْ وَكِيعٌ مَرَّةً الْأَنْصَارِيَّ قَالَ غَيْرُهُ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ الْعَتَكِيُّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَبِي سَبَقَهُ لِسَانُهُ يَعْنِي وَكِيعًا فَقَالَ لَقِيتُ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ الْعَتَكِيُّ
Abu Wasil says: I met Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Ansari, he shook hands with me, and when he saw my long nails, he said: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You ask about matters of the heavens, but you keep your nails long like the claws of birds; in them, impurity, filth, and dirt accumulate. Waki’ once did not mention the word Ansari with Abu Ayyub’s name, and other narrators have said Abu Ayyub ‘Ataki. Abu Abdur Rahman said: My father said: Imam Waki’ made a slip of the tongue and said that I met Abu Ayyub Ansari, whereas it was actually Abu Ayyub ‘Ataki.
Hadith 8217
يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْمَعَافِرِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي غِفَارٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ لَمْ يَحْلِقْ عَانَتَهُ وَيُقَلِّمْ أَظْفَارَهُ وَيَجُزَّ شَارِبَهُ فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا
Yazid bin Amr Mu'afiri reports from a man of Banu Ghifar that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever does not shave the hair below the navel, does not trim the nails, and does not cut the mustache, is not from among us.
Hadith 8218
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قِيلَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَبْطَأَ عَنْكَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَقَالَ وَلِمَ لَا يُبْطِئُ عَنِّي وَأَنْتُمْ حَوْلِي لَا تَسْتَنُّونَ وَلَا تُقَلِّمُونَ أَظْفَارَكُمْ وَلَا تَقُصُّونَ شَوَارِبَكُمْ وَلَا تُنَقُّونَ رَوَاجِبَكُمْ
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that someone said to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him): O Messenger of Allah! Jibreel (peace be upon him) has delayed in meeting you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: Why should he not delay, when you are around me—you neither use the miswak, nor trim your nails, nor cut your moustaches, nor wash the joints of your fingers properly.
Hadith 8219
عَنْ سَوَادَةَ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَأَمَرَ لِي بِذَوْدٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي إِذَا رَجَعْتَ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ فَمُرْهُمْ فَلْيُحْسِنُوا غِذَاءَ رِبَاعِهِمْ وَمُرْهُمْ فَلْيُقَلِّمُوا أَظْفَارَهُمْ وَلَا يَعْبِطُوا بِهَا ضُرُوعَ مَوَاشِيهِمْ إِذَا حَلَبُوا
Sayyiduna Suwadah bin Rabi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I asked him a question, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that a camel be given to me and said: When you return to your home, instruct them to provide good food to the newborn camel calves during the spring season, and that they should also trim their nails so that when they milk the animals, they do not injure the udders of the livestock with their nails.
