Chapter: Regarding one who touches his anus
• Ahmad was asked: A man’s anus turns outward, and he touches it and finds moisture? He did not provide an answer regarding it.

Chapter: Killing lice during prayer
• I asked Ahmad, and I said: A man is in prayer and picks up a louse? He said: "If he kills it, there is no harm, and if he buries it, there is no harm."
• Ishaq was asked about a man who finds lice on his hand while he is praying? He said: "It is more beloved to me that he places it inside his garment, and if he kills it, there is nothing incumbent upon him." He mentioned on the authority of Mu'adh ibn Jabal and Abu al-Darda' - may Allah be pleased with them both - that they used to kill lice and fleas during prayer.
o Muhammad ibn al-Wazir narrated to us, saying: Marwan ibn Muhammad narrated to us, [he said]:
(1) What is between the brackets was [added] from a supplementary note written by the annotator, and this part of the manuscript ends here. Refer to the Introduction (p. 33).

See: al-Awsat by Ibn al-Mundhir (3/277) and Fath al-Bari by Ibn Rajab (6/398).
