[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ perform ablution, and he wiped the front of his head and the back of his head, and he wiped his temples and his ears, both their outer and inner parts, and their origins.  

البيهقي:٢٧٤أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُنْقِذٍ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْمُقْرِئُ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ عَنِ الرُّبَيِّعِ بِنْتِ مُعَوِّذٍ ابْنِ عَفْرَاءَ قَالَتْ

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَمَسَحَ مَا أَقْبَلَ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ وَمَا أَدْبَرَ وَمَسَحَ صُدْغَيْهِ وَأُذُنَيْهِ ظَاهِرَهُمَا وَبَاطِنَهُمَا وَمَنْبَتَهُمَا

I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performing ablution. He wiped his head front and back, his temples and his ears once.  

أبو داود:١٢٩حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُضَرَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ أَنَّ رُبَيِّعَ بِنْتَ مُعَوِّذِ ابْنِ عَفْرَاءَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ قَالَتْ

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ قَالَتْ فَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ وَمَسَحَ مَا أَقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَمَا أَدْبَرَ وَصُدْغَيْهِ وَأُذُنَيْهِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ablution near it, and I saw him wiping over his head, from the beginning to the end of his hair, and he also wiped over his forehead, ears, and the visible and hidden parts of his ear lobes.  

أحمد:٢٧٠٢٢حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَنِ رُبَيِّعَ بِنْتِ مُعَوِّذِ ابْنِ عَفْرَاءَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ تَوَضَّأَ عِنْدَهَا فَرَأَيْتُهُ مَسَحَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ مَجَارِيَ الشَّعْرِ مَا أَقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَمَا أَدْبَرَ وَمَسَحَ صُدْغَيْهِ وَأُذُنَيْهِ ظَاهِرَهُمَا وَبَاطِنَهُمَا

I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performing ablution. He wiped his head front and back, his temples and his ears once. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 129)  

الطبراني:٢١١٥٥حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنْباعِ رَوْحُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ ثنا أَبِي ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنِ مُضَرَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَنَّ الرُّبَيِّعَ بِنْتَ مُعَوِّذِ بْنِ عَفْرَاءَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ

أَنَّهَا رَأَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ قَالَتْ «فَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ مَا أَقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَمَا أَدْبَرَ وَصُدْغَيْهِ وَأُذُنَيْهِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً»
