[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us, so we prepared the water for him to perform ablution. He performed ablution by washing each body part three times, and he wiped his head twice, starting from the back. He also inserted his fingers into his ears.  

أحمد:٢٧٠١٨حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ عَنِ الرُّبَيِّعِ بِنْتِ مُعَوِّذِ ابْنِ عَفْرَاءَ قَالَتْ

أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَوَضَعْنَا لَهُ الْمِيضَأَةَ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ بَدَأَ بِمُؤَخَّرِهِ وَأَدْخَلَ أُصْبُعَيْهِ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ
