The narrator states: When Urwah denied this matter, he inquired about it from Busrah, and Busrah confirmed what he had said. This is authentic. Some other narrators have also corroborated this, in which it is also mentioned: Urwah says: "I asked Busrah about this matter, and she confirmed it."

Lady Busrah bint Safwan (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever touches his private part, or touches his testicles, or touches his foul place, then he should perform ablution.” This narration is also transmitted with some other chains, however, the mention of the testicles and the foul place is a mistake by the narrator, because this is not mentioned in the narration transmitted from Lady Busrah (may Allah be pleased with her). The more reliable version is: This is the statement of ‘Urwah and is transmitted as a marfu‘ hadith, and trustworthy narrators have transmitted it in this way.

At that time, people were engaged in building the mosque of Madinah Munawwarah. The narrator states: People were transferring stones at that time. The narrator states: I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Should I not do as these people are doing (i.e., transferring stones)?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No! Rather, you should make mortar for them, O people of Yamamah! For you are skilled in this." The narrator states: I made it for them, and the people began to carry it.

Sayyiduna Qais bin Talq رضي الله عنه narrates from his father: I was present with the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم when a man came to him and asked about touching the private part. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "It is a part of your body." Ibn Abi Hatim states: I asked my father (Abu Hatim) and Abu Shaykh Zar‘ah about this narration transmitted by Muhammad bin Jabir, and both replied: "Qais bin Talq is not such that he can be considered reliable." Thus, both of them declared this narrator weak and did not consider him reliable.

Abu Uthman Nahdi narrates: Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) reported this. In another narration, this is reported: Asmah bin Malik Hatami, who is a companion of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), narrated this: A man said, "O Messenger of Allah! I felt an itch during prayer, I scratched it, and my hand touched my private part." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "(Sometimes) I also do that."

Qais bin Talq narrates from his father, Sayyiduna Talq bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): We set out as a delegation to present ourselves before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

What is your opinion about a man touching his private part during prayer?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is a part of your body." (The narrator is in doubt, perhaps these are the words:) "A piece of flesh."

Sayyiduna Qais bin Talq (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from his father: We asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about touching the private part, so he (peace be upon him) said: "It is a part of your body." The narrator of this narration, Ayyub, is unknown.

Raja bin Marji narrates: Once we gathered in the Mosque of Khayf, among whom were Ahmad bin Hanbal, Ali bin Madini, and Yahya bin Ma'in. A discussion arose among them regarding touching the private part. Yahya said: "Ablution should be performed after it." Ali bin Madini expressed his opinion according to the view of the people of Kufa and followed their opinion. Yahya bin Ma'in, in support of his stance, narrated the report of Busrah bint Safwan (may Allah be pleased with her), while Ali bin Madini, in support of his stance, narrated the report of Qais bin Talq. They said to Yahya: "How can you follow the chain of Busrah, when Marwan (who was the governor of Madinah) had sent a soldier, until that soldier brought the answer from that woman to Marwan?" So Yahya said: "Most people have criticized Qais bin Talq and have not considered his narration authentic." Then Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal said: "What you both have stated, the matter is as such." Yahya Mahdi, on the authority of Imam Malik, on the authority of Nafi', narrated regarding Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them): Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Ablution is not necessary after this; it is a part of your body." So Yahya inquired: "Who has narrated this?" They replied: "Sufyan, on the authority of Abu Qais, on the authority of Huzail, on the authority of Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), has narrated this." So whenever there is a difference of opinion between Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) and Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), Abdullah bin Mas'ud is more deserving that his opinion be followed. So Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal said to them: "It is so." But the narration of Abu Qais cannot be presented as evidence. So they said: "Abu Nu'aim, on the authority of Ma'mar, on the authority of Umair, has narrated this statement of Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him)." He said: "I do not care whether I touch it (the private part) or I touch my nose." So Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal said: "Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) and Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) are of the same rank, so whoever wishes may adopt the opinion of one, and whoever wishes may adopt the opinion of the other."

Shaqiq narrates: Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) stated: "I do not mind whether I touch my private part or I touch my nose, while I am in the state of prayer."
