Touching The Penis

Busrah (رضي الله عنها) said: Rasoolullah (ﷺ) said:
“If one of you touches his penis then let him make Wudoo’.”
[At-Tirmidhee (1/18) who said it is hasan saheeh. And also declared as Saheeh by Ahmad, alBukhaaree and Ibn Ma’een (Lum’aat ut-Tanqeeh Sharh Mishkaat ul Masaabeeh, no.319). Others also narrate it as authentic].
Talq ibn ‘Alee (رضي الله عنه) said: Rasoolullah (ﷺ) was asked about a man’s touching his penis. Should he make Wudoo’?
He (ﷺ) said: “And is it except a part of him?” [At-Tirmidhee (no.85) and he said: “And this is the best of what is reported in this regard].” AlAlbaanee says: Its isnaad is Saheeh, and this (the view that it doesn’t break the Wudoo’) is established as being that of a group of the Sahaabah, from them: Ibn Mas’ood, ‘Ammaar ibn Yaasir, and because of these Imam Ahmad gave the choice between this and the one before it. Shaikh-ul-Islaam Ibn Taimiyyah harmonized the two carrying the first to mean if he touched it with desire and this upon the touching without desire – and there is in this hadeeth that which gives that impression and it is his (ﷺ) saying ‘a part of him’.
