أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ الطُّوسِيُّ الْفَقِيهُ، أنا أَبُو بِشْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَاضِرٍ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ صَاحِبُ أَبِي صَخْرَةَ، أنا عَلِيٌّ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُسْلِمٍ، وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْفَقِيهُ، نا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَافِظُ، نا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْوَكِيلُ، نا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ بُسْرَةَ بِنْتِ صَفْوَانَ، قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَنْ مَسَّ ذَكَرَهُ أَوْ أُنْثَيَيْهِ، أَوْ رُفْغَهُ فَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ " وَفِي رِوَايَةِ الطُّوسِيِّ: " أَوْ رُفْغَيْهِ فَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ " قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَافِظُ: كَذَا رَوَاهُ عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ وَوَهِمَ فِي ذِكْرِهِ الْأُنْثَيَيْنِ وَالرِّفْغِ وَإِدْرَاجِهِ ذَلِكَ فِي حَدِيثِ بُسْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَالْمَحْفُوظُ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ قَوْلِ عُرْوَةَ غَيْرُ مَرْفُوعٍ، كَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ الثِّقَاتُ عَنْ هِشَامٍ، مِنْهُمْ أَيُّوبُ السَّخْتِيَانِيُّ، وَحَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَغَيْرُهُمَا.
Sayyidah Busrah bint Safwan (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever touches his private part, or his testicles, or his groin, let him perform ablution."
(b) In the narration of al-Tusi the words are: "or touches his groins, let him perform ablution like the ablution for prayer."
Ali bin Umar al-Hafiz (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Abd al-Hamid bin Ja'far erred in mentioning the testicles and the groin and in inserting that into the hadith of Sayyidah Busrah (may Allah be pleased with her) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); what is preserved is that this is the saying of Urwah, not attributed to the Prophet, and that is how the trustworthy narrators reported it from Hisham, among them Ayyub al-Sakhtiyani and Hammad bin Zayd.

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ، ثنا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ السَّرَّاجُ، ثنا أَبُو شُعَيْبٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ الْبَصْرِيُّ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَارِثِيُّ، أنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُبَشِّرٍ، وَالْحَسَنُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَحْمُودٍ السَّرَّاجُ، قَالُوا: ثنا أَبُو الْأَشْعَثِ، ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، ثنا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ بُسْرَةَ بِنْتِ صَفْوَانَ، أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " مَنْ مَسَّ ذَكَرَهُ فَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ " قَالَ: وَكَانَ عُرْوَةُ يَقُولُ: " إِذَا مَسَّ رِفْغَيْهِ أَوْ ذَكَرَهُ أَوْ أُنْثَيَيْهِ فَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ.
Sayyidah Busrah bint Safwan (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that she heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever touches his private part, let him perform ablution."
Urwah used to say: "Whoever touches the groin, or the testicles, or the private part, let him perform ablution."
Urwah used to say: "Whoever touches the groin, or the testicles, or the private part, let him perform ablution."
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، ثنا عَلِيٌّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، ثنا خَلَفُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، قَالَ: كَانَ أَبِي يَقُولُ: " إِذَا مَسَّ رِفْغَهُ أَوْ أُنْثَيَيْهِ أَوْ فَرْجَهُ فَلَا يُصَلِّي حَتَّى يَتَوَضَّأَ ". وَرُوِيَ ذَلِكَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ مُدْرَجًا فِي الْحَدِيثِ وَهُوَ وَهْمٌ ⦗٢١٧⦘ وَالصَّوَابُ أَنَّهُ مِنْ قَوْلِ عُرْوَةَ: " وَالْقِيَاسُ أَنْ لَا وُضُوءَ فِي الْمَسِّ وَإِنَّمَا اتَّبَعْنَا السُّنَّةَ فِي إِيجَابِهِ بِمَسِّ الْفَرْجِ فَلَا يَجِبُ بِغَيْرِهِ ".
The father of Hisham bin Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him) used to say: When a person touches his groin, or his testicles, or his private part, he should not pray until he performs ablution.
(b) Through another chain, a version with this inserted into the hadith (mudraj) is reported from Hisham bin Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him); this is an error by some narrator, and the correct position is that it is the saying of Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him).
(c) Analogy requires that there be no ablution because of touching; we have only followed the Sunnah in making ablution obligatory for touching the private part, so it is not obligatory for anything else.
