Sunan an-Nasa'i 447
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ بُسْرَةَ بِنْتِ صَفْوَانَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَنْ مَسَّ ذَكَرَهُ فَلاَ يُصَلِّي حَتَّى يَتَوَضَّأَ " . قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ أَبِيهِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ وَاللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ .
Ishaq ibn Mansur informed us; he said: Yahya ibn Sa‘id narrated to us, from Hisham ibn ‘Urwah, who said: My father informed me, from Busrah bint Safwan, that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever touches his penis must not pray until he performs wudu’.” Abu ‘Abd al-Rahman said: Hisham ibn ‘Urwah did not hear this hadith from his father—and Allah, Glorified and Exalted, knows best.
Translation notes
The Arabic includes the compiler’s qualification about Hisham ibn ‘Urwah’s hearing from his father, followed by “Allah knows best.”
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ،
The English witness omits the full isnad.
Confirm the chain against the Arabic source.
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ أَبِيهِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ وَاللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ .
The English witness includes the hearing qualification but omits the closing “Allah knows best.”
Confirm the retained closing phrase.
