Hadith #109

وَ بِهَذَا اَلْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مِهْزَمٍ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« يُكْرَهُ أَنْ يُقَصَّ لِلْمَيِّتِ ظُفُرٌ أَوْ يُقَصَّ لَهُ شَعْرٌ أَوْ يُحْلَقَ لَهُ عَانَةٌ أَوْ يُغْمَزَ لَهُ مَفْصِلٌ».

And through this chain of narrators, from Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub, from a group of our companions, from Sahl ibn Ziyad, from Ibn Mahbub, from Ibrahim ibn Mahzam, from Talhah ibn Zayd, from Abu ‘Abdullah : Imam said: "It is disliked to trim the nails of the deceased, cut his hair, shave his pubic area, or press his joints."
