English translation

664. It was narrated that 'Ali said: "A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'I bathed to cleanse myself from sexual impurity, and I prayed Fajr, then I noticed a spot the size of a fingernail that the water did not reach.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'If you had wiped it that would have been sufficient for you.'" (Da'if)

Arabic text

664 - حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ: قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي اغْتَسَلْتُ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ، وَصَلَّيْتُ الْفَجْرَ، ثُمَّ أَصْبَحْتُ، فَرَأَيْتُ قَدْرَ مَوْضِعِ الظُّفْرِ، لَمْ يُصِبْهُ الْمَاءُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَوْ كُنْتَ مَسَحْتَ عَلَيْهِ بِيَدِكَ، أَجْزَأَكَ»

Commentary

Both the Ahādīth are Weak. As such they do not prove the intended ruling. The correct position is that the person concerned shall have to redo his bath or ablution. And Allāh knows best.
