Narrated Ammar bin Yasir: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: The rinsing of mouth and snuffing up water in the nose are acts that bear the characteristics of fitrah (nature). He then narrated a similar tradition (as reported by Aishah), but he did not mention the words letting the beard grow . He added the words circumcision and sprinkling water on the private part of the body . He did not mention the words cleansing oneself after easing . Abu Dawud said: A similar tradition has been reported on the authority of Ibn Abbas. He mentioned only five sunnahs all relating to the head, one of them being parting of the hair; it did not include wearing the beard. Abu Dawud said: The tradition as reported by Hammad has also been transmitted by Talq bin Habib, Mujahid, and Bakr bin Abd Allaah bin al-Muzani as their own statement ( not as a tradition from the Prophet, صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). They did not mention the words letting the beard grow . The version transmitted by Muhammad bin Abd Allaah bin Abi Maryam, Abu Salamah, and Abu Hurairah from the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم mentions the words letting the beard grow . A similar tradition has been reported by Ibrahim al-Nakha'i. He mentioned the words wearing the beard and circumcision.
