Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever performs ablution should rinse his mouth and put water into his nose, and both ears are part of the head (that is, they should also be wiped)." The narrator has transmitted it in this manner; however, its being "mursal" is more authentic.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a person performs ablution, he should rinse his mouth and put water into his nose, and both ears are part of the head."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) something similar to this, however, in it are these words: «وليستثر.»

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Rinsing the mouth and putting water into the nose are such parts of wudu that wudu is not complete without them, and both ears are part of the head (i.e., they should be wiped over).”The narrator of this narration, Jabir, is weak, and there is disagreement regarding the transmission of this narration from him. The narrator named Hakam bin Abdullah has transmitted it as a mursal narration, and this appears to be more correct.

A narrator named Ata reported this: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Rinsing the mouth and putting water into the nose are among the acts of ablution without which ablution is not complete, and both ears are part of the head." This narration was transmitted by a narrator named Umar bin Qais with his chain from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) as a "Mawquf" narration.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: "In wudu, both ears are part of the head (i.e., both ears should also be wiped), and in ihram, they are part of the face (i.e., both should not be covered)." The narrator of this narration, Umar bin Qais, is weak. This narration is also transmitted from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) with another chain, however, there is some difference in it.

Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Rinsing the mouth and putting water in the nose are Sunnah, and both ears are part of the head." The narrator of this narration, Ismail bin Muslim, is weak, and Qasim bin Ghasn is also similarly weak. Ali bin Hashim has some discrepancy in narrating this narration; he narrated it with his chain from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), but this too is not authentic.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a person performs ablution, he should rinse his mouth and put water into his nose, and both ears are part of the head." The same narration is also transmitted with another chain from Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Both ears are part of the head."

This narration is also transmitted with another chain of transmission.
