135 - Al-ʿAbbās ibn Muḥammad al-Dūrī informed us, saying: Aḥwaṣ ibn Jawwāb narrated to us, ʿAmmār ibn Ruzayq narrated to us, on the authority of Manṣūr. Likewise: Aḥmad ibn Ḥarb informed us, saying: Qāsim — namely Ibn Yazīd al-Jarmī — narrated to us, saying: Sufyān narrated to us, saying: Manṣūr narrated to us, on the authority of Mujāhid, on the authority of al-Ḥakam ibn Sufyān: He said: I saw the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, perform ablution and sprinkle water on his private parts.

Aḥmad said: and he sprinkled water on his private parts.

============================================
= Ibn Sufyān, from his father; and some said: al-Ḥakam, with the kunya Abū al-Ḥakam; and some said: al-Ḥakam or Abū al-Ḥakam … in ten different versions, which al-Mizzī mentioned in his biography in his *Tahdhīb* 7/95. The correct view is that of those who said "from his father," as in al-Tirmidhī's *al-ʿIlal al-Kabīr* (27) on the authority of al-Bukhārī, and Ibn Abī Ḥātim's *al-ʿIlal* 1/46 (103), and al-Ḥusaynī's *Ikmāl* (315), and he named Abū al-Ḥakam as Sufyān ibn ʿAbd Allāh. Al-Bukhārī in *al-Tārīkh al-Kabīr* 2/329 cited the differing reports concerning him, then quoted one of the descendants of al-Ḥakam ibn Sufyān saying: al-Ḥakam did not reach the time of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.

It was also recorded by Aḥmad (15386), (17620), and (17855), and Abū Dāwūd (166) via Sufyān al-Thawrī, from Manṣūr, from Mujāhid, from al-Ḥakam ibn Sufyān or Sufyān ibn al-Ḥakam al-Thaqafī; and in one version of Aḥmad: I saw the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, urinate and perform ablution … etc.

It was recorded by Abū Dāwūd (168) via Zāʾidah, from Manṣūr, from Mujāhid, from al-Ḥakam or Ibn al-Ḥakam, from his father, that the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, urinated, then performed ablution, and sprinkled water on his private parts.

It was recorded by Ibn Mājah (461) via Zakariyyā ibn Abī Zāʾidah, from Manṣūr, from Mujāhid, from al-Ḥakam ibn Sufyān al-Thaqafī, that he saw the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, perform ablution … etc.

It was recorded by Abū Dāwūd (167) via Ibn Abī Najīḥ, from Mujāhid, from a man of Thaqīf, from his father, who said: I saw the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, urinate, then sprinkle water on his private parts.

It was recorded by Aḥmad (15384) via Jarīr, from Manṣūr, from Mujāhid, from Abū al-Ḥakam or al-Ḥakam ibn Sufyān al-Thaqafī, who said: I saw the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, urinate, then perform ablution … etc. See the rest of the variations concerning it in the commentary there.
