164. 'Urwah bin Az-Zubair said: "When he was the governor of Al-
Madīnah, Marwān mentioned that a man should perform Wudū' after touching his penis, if he touches it with his hand. I did not like that and I said: 'The one who touches it does not have to perform Wudū'.' Marwān said: 'Busrah bint Ṣafwān told me that she heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ mention the things for which Wudū' should be performed, and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Wudū' should be performed after touching the penis.' 'Urwah said: 'I continued to argue with Marwān until he called one of his guards and sent him to Busrah to ask her about what Marwān had narrated, and Busrah sent word saying something like that which Marwān had narrated to me from her.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
The phrase "touches it with his hand" signifies that touching one's organ nullifies one's ablution provided that both one's hand and the organ are bare (for instance, one is not wearing gloves, or one does not scratch one's organ from the outside of one's clothing).
