أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ يَقُولُ
ذَكَرَ مَرْوَانُ فِي إِمَارَتِهِ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ أَنَّهُ يُتَوَضَّأُ مِنْ مَسِّ الذَّكَرِ إِذَا أَفْضَى إِلَيْهِ الرَّجُلُ بِيَدِهِ فَأَنْكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ وَقُلْتُ لاَ وُضُوءَ عَلَى مَنْ مَسَّهُ فَقَالَ مَرْوَانُ أَخْبَرَتْنِي بُسْرَةُ بِنْتُ صَفْوَانَ أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَكَرَ مَا يُتَوَضَّأُ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَيُتَوَضَّأُ مِنْ مَسِّ الذَّكَرِ

"When he was the governor of Al-Madinah, Marwan mentioned that a man should perform Wudu' after touching his penis, if he touches it iwth his hand. I did not like that and I said: 'The one who touches it does not have to perform Wudu'.' Marwan said: 'Busrah bint Safwan told me that she heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mention the things for which Wudu' should be performed, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Wudu' should be performed after touching the penis.' 'Urwah said: 'I continued to argue with Marwan until he called one of his guards and sent him to Busrah to ask her about what Marwan had narrated, and Busrah sent word saying something like that which Marwan had narrated to me from her."
Notes
قَالَ عُرْوَةُ فَلَمْ أَزَلْ أُمَارِي مَرْوَانَ حَتَّى دَعَا رَجُلاً مِنْ حَرَسِهِ فَأَرْسَلَهُ إِلَى بُسْرَةَ فَسَأَلَهَا عَمَّا حَدَّثَتْ مَرْوَانَ فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ بُسْرَةُ بِمِثْلِ الَّذِي حَدَّثَنِي عَنْهَا مَرْوَانُ

In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.
- al-Bukhari
أحاديث الوضوء من مس الفرج أصحها حديث بسرة
machine translationOf the hadiths on performing ablution after touching the private part, the soundest is the hadith of Busrah.
in سنن النسائي, p. 164 - Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr
كل من خرج في الصحيح ذكر حديث بسرة في هذا الباب وحديث طلق بن علي إلا البخاري فإنهما عنده متعارضان معلولان وعند غيره هما صحيحان والله المستعان
machine translationEveryone who compiled a Ṣaḥīḥ mentioned the hadith of Busrah on this topic and the hadith of Ṭalq b. ʿAlī, except al-Bukhārī, for in his view the two conflict and are defective (maʿlūl), while in the view of others both are sound (ṣaḥīḥ). And Allah is the one whose help is sought.
in سنن النسائي, p. 164 - Mubarakpūri
حديث بسرة هو أثبت وأقوى وأرجح من حديث طلق
machine translationThe hadith of Busrah is more firmly established, stronger and more preponderant than the hadith of Ṭalq.
in سنن النسائي, p. 164 - Mubarakpūri
الراجح المعول عليه هو أن حديث بسرة وحديث طلق كلاهما صحيحان لكن حديثها أصح وأثبت وأرجح من حديثه كما عرفت فيما تقدم
machine translationThe preferred and relied-upon position is that the hadith of Busrah and the hadith of Ṭalq are both sound (ṣaḥīḥ), but her hadith is sounder, more established and more preponderant than his, as you learned earlier.
