49 - Chapter: What has been reported regarding the time limit for trimming the nails and trimming the mustache

2962 - Ishaq ibn Mansur narrated to us, he said: 'Abd al-Samad narrated to us, he said: Sadaqah ibn Musa Abu Muhammad, the flour merchant, narrated to us, he said: Abu 'Imran al-Jawni narrated to us, from Anas ibn Malik, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that he set a time limit for them of every forty nights for trimming the nails, trimming the mustache, and shaving the pubic hair.(1)

2963 - Qutaybah narrated to us, he said: Ja'far ibn Sulayman narrated to us, from Abu 'Imran al-Jawni, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, set a time limit for us regarding trimming the mustache, trimming the nails, shaving the pubic hair, and plucking the armpit hair, that we should not leave them for more than forty days.(2)

This is more authentic than the first hadith. And Sadaqah ibn Musa is not considered by them to be a reliable memorizer.--------------------------------------------

It was also recorded by Abu Dawud (4200) and Ahmad (12232) via the chain of Sadaqah ibn Musa, with this chain of transmission.
(2) Its chain is sound.
It was also recorded by Muslim (258), Ibn Majah (295), and al-Nasa'i 1/15, via the chain of Ja'far ibn Sulayman, with this chain of transmission.
