How do we reconcile the hadith "Whoever touches his private part, let him perform wudu'" with the hadith "It is merely a part of you"?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The hadith "Whoever touches his private part, let him perform wudu'" and the hadith "It is merely a part of you," how is the state of janabah? In the name of Allah.

The questioner:
Even if it is slight.

The Shaykh:
If it is touching the flesh, or what is touched from behind the clothes, it does not matter. From behind the trousers or the waistcloth or the undergarment, it does not matter.

The questioner:
