Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ الْمَكِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى أَنْ يَمَسَّ الرَّجُلُ ذَكَرَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ ‏ .‏ وَفِي هَذَا الْبَابِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَسَلْمَانَ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَسَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَأَبُو قَتَادَةَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ اسْمُهُ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ رِبْعِيٍّ ‏.‏ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ عَامَّةِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ كَرِهُوا الاِسْتِنْجَاءَ بِالْيَمِينِ ‏.‏

Muhammad ibn Abi 'Umar al-Makki narrated to us; Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah narrated to us, from Ma'mar, from Yahya ibn Abi Kathir, from 'Abd Allah ibn Abi Qatadah, from his father: The Prophet ﷺ forbade a man to touch his penis with his right hand. There are also reports on this subject from 'A'ishah, Salman, Abu Hurairah, and Sahl ibn Hunayf. Abu 'Isa said: This is a hasan sahih hadith. Abu Qatadah al-Ansari's name was al-Harith ibn Rib'i. Most scholars act according to this and regard cleaning oneself with the right hand as disliked.
