HUQOOQ-UN-NAFS (Rights of the body)

Hadrat Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated ALLAAH’s Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) saying to him, “Have not been informed Abdullah, that you fast during the day and get up at night for prayer. “When he replied that was so, he said, “Do not do it. Fast and break your fast, get up for prayer and sleep, for you have a duty to your body, to your eye, to your wife and to your visitors. [Bukhari, Muslim]

Hadrat Amr bin Maimun al Aud (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that ALLAAH’s Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said to a man in the course of an exhortation, “Get hold of five things: before five others: your youth before your old age; your health before your illness, your affluence before your poverty, your prosperity before your adversity, and your life before your death. [Tirmizi]

Hadrat Abu Darda (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) narrated ALLAAH’s Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) as saying, “ALLAAH has sent down both the disease and the cure, and he has appointed a cure for every disease, so treat yourselves medically but use nothing unlawful. [Abu Dawud]

It has been reported that the Messenger of ALLAAH (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said that circumcision, shaving the pubes, clipping of the moustaches and removing the hair in the armpits are the call of human nature. These should not be left unattended for more than forty days.
