Sunan Abi Dawud 248 (Book 1, Hadith 248) #20539
The Importance of Cleanliness

SUMMARY: Cleanliness is important and should be maintained.

Narrated AbuHurayrah: The Messenger of Allah said: There is sexual defilement under every hair; so wash the hair and cleanse the skin. Abu Dawud said: The tradition narrated by Harith b. Wajih is rejected (Munkar). He is weak (in transmission).
حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنِي الْحَارِثُ بْنُ وَجِيهٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ تَحْتَ كُلِّ شَعْرَةٍ جَنَابَةً فَاغْسِلُوا الشَّعْرَ وَأَنْقُوا الْبَشَرَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ وَجِيهٍ حَدِيثُهُ مُنْكَرٌ وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ
