private part

AS-Salaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,     My question is about wudu'. The prophet (saw) has said in one hadith that the wudu' is broken if one touches his private parts, but in another hadith he tells a man that touching the private parts will not break the wudu', because "it is a part of you." Surely there must be a story behind each of these apparently contradictory hadiths.Jazakallah Khayran

Salaam, I have a question regarding ghusl.I understand the proper method of ghusl (ritual bath) involves the following steps: 1. Make the niyyah (intention) to perform ghusl for purification. 2. Wash your private parts thoroughly with water. 3. Perform wudu' (ablution) except for washing of your feet, which you can do later while bathing the body. 4. Wash the entire body, starting with your head and the right side, followed by the left. 5. It is preferred that the whole body be washed three times. The minimum is once.I would like to know after washing your private parts and performing wudu (numbers 2 and 3), in terms of washing the entire body (number 4) - do you have to wash your private parts once again or does it mean the rest of the body only. Jazakallah Khayrun
