Qurʾān Ibn Rajab's Fifty Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn al-Adab al-Mufrad al-Luʾluʾ wa-al-Marjān Bukhārī Muslim Abū Dāwūd Tirmidhī Nasāʾī Ibn Mājah Dārimī Aḥmad Mālik Ḥākim Ibn Ḥibbān Bazzār Ibn Khuzaymah Ṭabarānī Nasāʾī's Kubrá Bayhaqī Aḥmad's Zuhd Suyūṭī
abudawud:182 – Musaddad

We came upon the Prophet of Allah ﷺ. A man came to him: he seemed to be a bedouin. He said: Prophet of Allah, what do you think about a man who touches his penis after performing ablution? He ﷺ replied: That is only a part of his body. Abu Dawud said: The tradition has been transmitted through a different chain of narrators.

أبو داود:١٨٢ – حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُلاَزِمُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْحَنَفِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بَدْرٍ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ طَلْقٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

قَدِمْنَا عَلَى نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ كَأَنَّهُ بَدَوِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ مَا تَرَى فِي مَسِّ الرَّجُلِ ذَكَرَهُ بَعْدَ مَا يَتَوَضَّأُ فَقَالَ هَلْ هُوَ إِلاَّ مُضْغَةٌ مِنْهُ أَوْ قَالَ بَضْعَةٌ مِنْهُ

قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ رَوَاهُ هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ وَسُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَشُعْبَةُ وَابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ وَجَرِيرٌ الرَّازِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَابِرٍ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ طَلْقٍ

Collected by Ibn Ḥibbān, Ṭabarānī, Nasāʾī's Kubrá

ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ أَوْهَمَ عَالِمًا مِنَ النَّاسِ أَنَّهُ مُضَادُّ لِخَبَرِ بُسْرَةَ أَوْ مُعَارِضٌ لَهُ

[Machine] We went as a delegation to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, then a man came and said, "O Prophet of Allah, what do you say about the remnants of a person after they have performed ablution?" He said, "Are they anything other than a morsel or a piece of it?"

ابن حبّان:١١١٩ – أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ نَصْرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُلَازِمُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَدْرٍ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ طَلْقٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

خَرَجْنَا وَفْدًا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ مَا تَقُولُ فِي مَسِّ الرَّجُلِ ذَكَرَهُ بَعْدَمَا يَتَوَضَّأُ؟ فَقَالَ «هَلْ هُوَ إِلَّا مُضْغَةٌ أَوْ بَضْعَةٌ مِنْهُ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ witnessed and a man asked him, as if he were a Bedouin, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think of a man who touches his private parts after performing ablution?" He replied, "Is it anything other than a part of you or a portion of you?"

الطبراني:٨٢٤٣ – حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ثنا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الْمِنْهَالِ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ الْحَجَبِيُّ قَالَا ثنا مُلَازِمُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْيَمَامِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بَدْرٍ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ طَلْقٍ عَنْ طَلْقِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ

شَهِدَتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ كَأَنَّهُ بَدْوِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا تَرَى فِي الرَّجُلِ يَمَسُّ ذَكَرَهُ بَعْدَمَا يَتَوَضَّأُ؟ فَقَالَ «هَلْ هُوَ إِلَّا مُضْغَةٌ مِنْكَ أَوْ بَضْعَةٌ؟»

nasai-kubra:160 – Hannād b. al-Sarī > Mulāzim > ʿAbdullāh b. Badr > Qays b. Ṭalq > Abīh Ṭalq b. ʿAlī

"We went out as a delegation and when we arrived with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ he accepted our oath of allegiance and we prayed with him. When he had finished the prayer, a man who looked like a Bedouin came to him and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what do you think about a man who touched his penis during the Salah?' He said: 'It is just a part of you,' or 'a piece of you.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 165)

الكبرى للنسائي:١٦٠ – أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ عَنْ مُلَازِمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بَدْرٍ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ طَلْقٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ طَلْقِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ

خَرَجْنَا وَفْدًا حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَبَايَعْنَاهُ وَصَلَّيْنَا مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ كَأَنَّهُ بَدَوِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ مَا تَرَى فِي رَجُلٍ مَسَّ ذَكَرَهُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ؟ قَالَ «وَهَلْ هُوَ إِلَّا مُضْغَةٌ مِنْكَ أَوْ بِضْعَةٌ مِنْكَ؟»
