Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَوَاءٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ بُسْرَةَ بِنْتِ صَفْوَانَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا أَفْضَى أَحَدُكُمْ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى فَرْجِهِ فَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

‘Imran ibn Musa informed us; he said: Muhammad ibn Sawa’ narrated to us, from Shu‘bah, from Ma‘mar, from al-Zuhri, from ‘Urwah ibn al-Zubayr, from Busrah bint Safwan, that the Prophet ﷺ said: “If one of you brings his hand to his private part, let him perform wudu’.”

Translation notes
  • The expression afda bi-yadihi ila farjihi literally describes bringing or applying one’s hand to the private part; the witness renders it as touching.

  • أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى،

    The English witness omits the chain of transmission.
