Primary text

It is recommended for one who shaves or trims their hair to also clip their nails and trim their mustache, because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did so. It is transmitted that when the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, shaved his head, he clipped his nails. Ibn Umar also used to trim his mustache and nails. Furthermore, when shaving, it is recommended to extend to the bone at the base of the temple on the face, which separates the head from the beard.

Ata, Tawus, Al-Shafi'i, and Ibn Umar favored taking something even from the beard when shaving.
