479 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ بُسْرَةَ بِنْتِ صَفْوَانَ قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا مَسَّ أَحَدُكُمْ ذَكَرَهُ، فَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ»

Commentary
It shows that touching the urine outlets nullifies the ablution. Some of the scholars have raised their doubt on the Hadith saying that, for one thing it is a regular occurrence and, secondly it is a male-specific problem but the narrator is a lone woman. The objection is, however, not tenable, since Imâm Tirmidhi ﷺ, after narrating the Hadith, has commented that the Hadith has been transmitted by eight other Companions as well – five of them men and three women. Some of those Ahâdith transmitted by the Companions, alluded to by Imâm Tirmidhi ﷺ, are to follow next in this chapter. Moreover, the ruling in question does not concern the men alone. Even women, if they touch their particular parts, are liable to refresh their ablution.
