218 - Mahmud ibn Khalid narrated to us, he said: 'Umar ibn 'Abd al-Wahid narrated to us, he said: Al-Awza'i was asked about a man who clips his nails or trims his mustache or his head: should he repeat his wudu'? He said: "No." And I heard 'Ata' say: "He should pass water over them," and al-Zuhri did not consider that there was any wiping [of water] required for it.

He said: And al-Awza'i was asked about a man who shaved his head after wudu'? He said: "Wiping over it [with water] suffices him."

220 - 'Amr ibn 'Uthman narrated to us, he said: Baqiyyah narrated to us, from al-Dahhak ibn Hamzah, from Qatadah—regarding a man who clips his nails after wudu'—he said: "It has added nothing to him but cleanliness."

221 - Yahya al-Himmani narrated to us, he said: Rabah ibn Khalid narrated to us, from Hafs ibn Sabih, from Bashir ibn Zayd, from Ibn 'Abbas, he said: "Clipping them is a purification."

Chapter: Wudu' due to touching the penis

• I heard Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Hanbal say: "He should perform wudu' from touching the penis."

• I asked Ahmad—another time—I said: "If a man is performing wudu' and his hand comes into contact with his private part?" He said: "He should repeat the wudu'." I said: "Are the man and the woman the same in that regard?" He said: "I do not know."
