Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

Paring the nails

According to traditions he used to get his nails pared either on Friday or on Thursday in the following order:                                      Right hand:           forefinger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger.                                                                                              Left hand:             little finger, ring finger, middle finger, forefinger thumb and right thumb.

In getting the nails of his feet pared, the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) observed the following order:

Right foot:           beginning with the little toe to the great toe successively.                                                                                        Left foot:           beginning with the right toe to the little one successively.

The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) used to get his nails pared every fifteenth day. [Shamail-e-Tirmizi]
