[Machine] Abu Umamah narrated that the ablution of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was mentioned, and it was said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would wipe the backs of his hands." He also said, "He would wipe his ears from the sides of his head." Sulaiman bin Harb said, "Abu Umamah used to narrate this." Qutaybah said, "Hammad said, 'I do not know if this is from the statement of the Prophet ﷺ or from Abu Umamah,' meaning the narration of the two ears." Qutaybah also said, "Sinan bin Rabeeah mentioned this in my book of Mawaqeen, which is in the narration of Abu Sulaiman Al-Khattabi, from Ibn Dasa Al-Mawaqeen." Abu Sulaiman explained it as the edge of the eye that is next to the nose and it is the exit of tears. And what was narrated from his wiping of his head and ears in some of the previous narrations, the general description of how it is done is present in it.
