Sunan an-Nasa'i 446
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ الْوُضُوءُ مِنْ مَسِّ الذَّكَرِ فَقَالَ مَرْوَانُ أَخْبَرَتْنِيهِ بُسْرَةُ بِنْتُ صَفْوَانَ . فَأَرْسَلَ عُرْوَةُ قَالَتْ ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَا يُتَوَضَّأُ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ " مِنْ مَسِّ الذَّكَرِ " .
Qutaybah informed us; he said: al-Layth narrated to us, from Ibn Shihab, from ‘Urwah ibn al-Zubayr, from Marwan ibn al-Hakam, that he said: Wudu’ is required after touching the penis. Marwan said: Busrah bint Safwan told me that. ‘Urwah sent to inquire. She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned what requires wudu’, and said: “Touching the penis.”
Translation notes
The Arabic says simply that ‘Urwah sent; the English witness supplies the purpose “to check that.” The translation makes the implied inquiry explicit but does not add a specific messenger.
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ،
The English witness omits the transmitters.
Confirm the chain against the Arabic source.
فَأَرْسَلَ عُرْوَةُ قَالَتْ ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَا يُتَوَضَّأُ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ " مِنْ مَسِّ الذَّكَرِ " .
The Arabic does not state whom ‘Urwah sent or explicitly state the purpose; the witness interprets it as sending someone to check.
Confirm whether the implied inquiry is the clearest rendering.
