Hadith 2759

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ : " وُقِّتَ لَنَا فِي قَصِّ الشَّارِبِ ، وَتَقْلِيمِ الْأَظْفَارِ ، وَحَلْقِ الْعَانَةِ ، وَنَتْفِ الْإِبْطِ ، أَنْ نَتْرَكُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا " ، قَالَ : هَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ الْأَوَّلِ ، وَصَدَقَةُ بْنُ مُوسَى لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُمْ بِالْحَافِظِ .
´Narrated Anas bin Malik:` "[The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)] fixed the time for us paring the mustache, trimming the fingernails, shaving the pubic hairs and plucking the underarm hairs - that we not leave it for more than forty days."

14. Commentary:
➊ Day and night are inseparable from each other; therefore, whether one says "day" or "night," it makes no difference.
➋ Forty days is the maximum limit; otherwise, whenever there is a need—meaning if one feels disgust or filth and dirt begin to accumulate—cleanliness may be maintained, whether it concerns hair or nails.

Benefit:
Whenever the need is felt, these acts should be performed; however, if there is a delay, it should not exceed forty days, otherwise one will be sinful.
It should not be assumed that cleanliness should not be maintained before forty days.
