Chapter on Acts That Necessitate Purification

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَخِيهِ اَلْحَسَنِ عَنْ زُرْعَةَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَمَسُّ ذَكَرَهُ أَوْ فَرْجَهُ أَوْ أَسْفَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ هُوَ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي أَ يُعِيدُ وُضُوءَهُ قَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ إِنَّمَا هُوَ مِنْ جَسَدِهِ
Narrated from him, from his brother Al-Hasan, from Zur'ah, from Sama'ah: I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, about a man who touches his private part, or his genitals, or below that while he is standing in prayer. Should he repeat his wudu (ablution)? Imam عليه السلام said: “There is no harm in that. It is only a part of his body."
