$ locate nash
/usr/share/man/man8/nash.8.gz
/sbin/nash
$ rpm -q --whatprovides /sbin/nash
mkinitrd-3.5.22-1
This tells me that nash is part of the mkinitrd package
and that it has a man page for documentation.
man nash
As for source once you know the package name you can
use up2date to fetch the source.
# up2date --get-source mkinitrd
.... minor edits for space....

Now I have mkinitrd-3.5.22-1.src.rpm in /var/spool/up2date and I can
install it. I can also do all the other rpm tricks.
If you are just looking to see the code and what it does rpm2cpio is
handy and does not require a root account.
This "up2date --get-source " is an important function, read the GPL.
Yum users should note this...
