Narrated by Muslim · Authentic hadith

عن عائشة رضي الله عنها مرفوعاً: «عَشْرٌ من الفِطْرة: قَصُّ الشَارب، وإعْفَاء اللِّحْية، والسِّواك، وَاسْتِنْشَاقُ الماء، وقص الأظْفَار، وغَسْل البَرَاجِم، ونَتْف الإبْط، وحلق العَانة، وانْتِقَاصُ الماء» قال الراوي: ونَسِيْتُ العاشرة إلا أن تكون المَضْمَضَة. قال وكِيع - وهو أحد رواته - انْتِقَاص الماء: يعني الاسْتِنْجَاء.

“‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Ten practices are part of the Fitrah: Trimming the mustache, letting the beard grow, using the toothstick (tooth-stick), rinsing the nose, trimming the nails, washing the finger joints, plucking the armpit hairs, shaving the pubic hair, and washing the private parts with water (after answering the call of nature)." One of the narrators said: "I have forgotten the tenth; except if it was rinsing the mouth."”
