Sayyidah Rabi’ bint Mu’awwiz (may Allah be pleased with her) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us, we placed a vessel for him, and he performed ablution three times each (for the limbs), and wiped his head twice in such a way that he started from the back part of the head, and during the wiping of the ears, he put his fingers into the ears, and according to another narration, into the holes of the ears.
