Umar bin Aban bin Mufaddal, may Allah have mercy on him, narrates that Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, showed me how the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, performed ablution. He took a jug and placed it on his left side, and poured water from it onto his right hand and washed it three times. Then he turned the jug to the other side and performed ablution three times each, and wiped his head three times, and took fresh water for his ears, and wiped his ears with it. I said: You wiped your ears. He said: Son! These two are part of the head and not of the face. Then he said: Son! Have you seen and understood, or should I repeat it again? I said: It is enough and I have understood. He said: I saw the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, perform ablution in this manner.
