5-11 Muhammad ibn al-Hassan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Walid - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn al-Hassan al-Saffar quoted on the authority of Ahmad ibn Aba Abdullah, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn Faz’zal, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn al-Jahm, on the authority of Abul Hassan Musa ibn Ja’far (MGB)
“Five traditions are related to the head, and five traditions are related to the body. The five related to the head are: brushing the teeth; shaving the moustache; parting one’s hair; gargling; and taking water into the nose. The five traditions related to the body are: circumcision; shaving pubic hair; trimming underarm hair; clipping one’s nails; and washing up after going to the toilet.”
5-11 حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا محمد ابن الحسن الصفار، عن أحمد بن أبي عبد الله، عن الحسن بن علي بن فضال، عن الحسن بن الجهم قال
قال أبوالحسن موسى بن جعفر عليهما السلام خمس من السنن في الرأس وخمس في الجسد فأما التي في الرأس فالسواك وأخذ الشارب وفرق الشعر والمضمضة والاستنشاق، وأما التي في الجسد فالختان وحلق العانة ونتف الابطين وتقليم الاظفار والاستنجاء
