Ayyub bin Abdullah narrates: I saw Hasan bin Abu al-Hasan, he called for water for ablution, so a large vessel of water was brought for him, then the water was poured into a bowl. First, he washed both his hands three times, then rinsed his mouth three times, then put water into his nose three times, then washed his face three times, then washed both his arms up to the elbows three times, then wiped his head, then wiped both his ears, and combed through his beard with his fingers, then washed both his feet up to the ankles. Then he stated: Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated this hadith to me, that this is the method of ablution of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).

Sayyida Rabi' bint Mu'awwiz (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: I saw the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) performing ablution. He wiped over the front part of his head, the back part, and both temples. Then he inserted both his index fingers and wiped the outer and inner parts of his ears with them.

Humaid narrates: When Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) performed ablution, he would wipe over the upper part and the inner part of his ears, and then he used to say: "I saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) doing this." Other narrators have reported it from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) as the action of Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him).

Humaid narrates: I saw Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) performing ablution; he wiped the inner and outer parts of his ears and then explained: "Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) used to command the wiping of both ears."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution, he would gently rub both of his cheeks and then use his fingers to comb through his beard from underneath.

Nafi' reports: When Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) performed ablution, (he narrated as in the previous narration). However, he did not narrate this as a "marfu'" hadith, and this is correct.

It is narrated about Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both: When he performed masah (wiping) over his head, he would remove his cap and wipe the front part of his head.
