أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ شَيْبَةَ عَنْ طَلْقِ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
عَشَرَةٌ مِنَ الْفِطْرَةِ قَصُّ الشَّارِبِ وَقَصُّ الأَظْفَارِ وَغَسْلُ الْبَرَاجِمِ وَإِعْفَاءُ اللِّحْيَةِ وَالسِّوَاكُ وَالاِسْتِنْشَاقُ وَنَتْفُ الإِبْطِ وَحَلْقُ الْعَانَةِ وَانْتِقَاصُ الْمَاءِ قَالَ مُصْعَبٌ وَنَسِيتُ الْعَاشِرَةَ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَكُونَ الْمَضْمَضَةَ

The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: "Ten things are part of the Fitrah: Trimming the mustache, trimming the nails, washing the joints, letting the beard grow, using the Siwak, rinsing the nose, plucking the armpit hairs, shaving the pubes, and washing with water (after relieving oneself)." Mus'ab bin Shaibah said: "I have forgotten the tenth, unless it was rinsing the mouth."

وهذا الحديث وإن كان مسلم أخرجه في صحيحه ففيه علتان ذكرهما الشيخ تقي الدين في الإمام وعزاهما لابن منده إحداهما الكلام في مصعب بن شيبة قال النسائي في سننه منكر الحديث وقال أبو حاتم ليس بقوي ولا يحمدونه الثانية أن سليمان التيمي رواه عن طلق بن حبيب عن ابن الزبير مرسلا هكذا رواه النسائي في سننه ورواه أيضا عن أبي بشر عن طلق بن حبيب عن ابن الزبير مرسلا قال النسائي وحديث التيمي وأبي بشر أولى ومصعب منكر الحديث انتهى ولأجل هاتين العلتين لم يخرجه البخاري ولم يلتفت مسلم إليهما لأن مصعبا عنده ثقة والثقة إذا وصل حديثا يقدم وصله على الإرسال
machine translationAlthough Muslim included this hadith in his Ṣaḥīḥ, it has two defects which Shaykh Taqī al-Dīn mentioned in al-Imām, attributing them to Ibn Mandah. The first is the criticism of Muṣʿab b. Shaybah. al-Nasāʾī said in his Sunan: he is of rejected hadith (munkar al-ḥadīth). Abū Ḥātim said: he is not strong, and they do not praise him. The second is that Sulaymān al-Taymī narrated it from Ṭalq b. Ḥabīb from Ibn al-Zubayr as a mursal report. This is how al-Nasāʾī narrated it in his Sunan. He also narrated it from Abū Bishr from Ṭalq b. Ḥabīb from Ibn al-Zubayr as mursal. al-Nasāʾī said: the hadith of al-Taymī and Abū Bishr is preferable, and Muṣʿab is of rejected hadith. End of quote. Because of these two defects al-Bukhārī did not include it, and Muslim paid them no regard, because Muṣʿab was trustworthy (thiqah) in his view, and when a trustworthy narrator connects a hadith, his connecting it takes precedence over the mursal form.

حديث سليمان التيمي وجعفر بن إياس أولى بالصواب من حديث مصعب بن شيبة ومصعب بن شيبة منكر الحديث
machine translationThe hadith of Sulaymān al-Taymī and Jaʿfar b. Iyās is more likely to be correct than the hadith of Muṣʿab b. Shaybah, and Muṣʿab b. Shaybah is one whose hadith is rejected (munkar al-ḥadīth).

machine translationThe hadiths of Muṣʿab b. Shaybah are rejected (manākīr), and this hadith is among them.
