Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) described the manner of ablution of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He says that whenever he (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution, he would wipe the inner corners of his eyes with water. And Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The ears are part of the head."
(b) Sulayman bin Harb says: "The ears are part of the head" is only the saying of Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him); whoever says otherwise has altered it (or a word to that effect that Sulayman said), meaning: he has erred.
