Arabic hadith text
وَعَن أبي أُمَامَة ذَكَرَ وُضُوءَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: وَكَانَ يَمْسَحُ الْمَاقَيْنِ وَقَالَ: الْأُذُنَانِ مِنَ الرَّأْسِ. رَوَاهُ ابْنُ مَاجَهْ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ وَالتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَذَكَرَا: قَالَ حَمَّادٌ: لَا أَدْرِي: الْأُذُنَانِ مِنَ الرَّأْسِ مِنْ قَوْلِ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ أَمْ مِنْ قَوْلُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Translation
Abū Umāma described the Messenger of Allah’s ablution and said: ‘He would wipe the corners of his eyes.’ He also said: ‘The ears are part of the head.’
Ibn Mājah, Abū Dāwūd, and al-Tirmidhī transmitted it. Abū Dāwūd and al-Tirmidhī noted that Ḥammād was unsure whether ‘the ears are part of the head’ was said by Abū Umāma or by the Messenger of Allah.
