حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ , حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ سِنَانِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ، قَالَ : " تَوَضَّأَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَيَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ ، وَقَالَ : الْأُذُنَانِ مِنَ الرَّأْسِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : قَالَ قُتَيْبَةُ : قَالَ حَمَّادٌ : لَا أَدْرِي هَذَا مِنْ قَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ مِنْ قَوْلِ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ , قَالَ : وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ أَنَسٍ . قال أبو عيسى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ لَيْسَ إِسْنَادُهُ بِذَاكَ الْقَائِمِ ، وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَمَنْ بَعْدَهُمْ أَنَّ الْأُذُنَيْنِ مِنَ الرَّأْسِ ، وَبِهِ يَقُولُ : سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ , وَابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ , وَالشَّافِعِيُّ , وَأَحْمَدُ , وَإِسْحَاق ، وقَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ : مَا أَقْبَلَ مِنَ الْأُذُنَيْنِ فَمِنَ الْوَجْهِ وَمَا أَدْبَرَ فَمِنَ الرَّأْسِ , قَالَ إِسْحَاق : وَأَخْتَارُ أَنْ يَمْسَحَ مُقَدَّمَهُمَا مَعَ الْوَجْهِ وَمُؤَخَّرَهُمَا مَعَ رَأْسِهِ , وقَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ : هُمَا سُنَّةٌ عَلَى حِيَالِهِمَا يَمْسَحُهُمَا بِمَاءٍ جَدِيدٍ .
´Abu Umamah narrated:` "The Prophet performed Wudu; so he washed his face three times, and his hands three times, and wiped his head, and he said: "The ears are part of the head."

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.

Benefits and Issues:
The corners of the eyes may remain dry due to the folds of the skin, therefore one should make sure to rub them. According to Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah, this narration is authentic without the addition of “the corners of the eyes” «مسح المأقين».
