Narrated Abu Umamah: Abu Umamah mentioned how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ablution, saying that he used to wipe the corners of his eyes, and he said that the ears are treated as part of the head. Sulaiman bin Harb said: the wording "the ears are treated as part of the head" were uttered by Abu Umamah. Hammad said: I do not know whether the phrase "the ears are treated as part of the head" was he statement of the Prophet ﷺ or of Abu Umamah.

English Commentary:
1:
This is the preferred (rajih) opinion.
2:
This is the school of thought (madhhab) of Shu’bi and Hasan ibn Salih and their followers.
3:
Imam Tirmidhi has mentioned here only three schools of thought; besides these three, there are other opinions as well. Among them is the view that both ears are part of the face, therefore they should be washed along with the face. This is the position taken by Imam Zuhri and Dawud al-Zahiri. Another opinion is that they should be washed with the face and wiped (masah) with the head.
