Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 1|Book 1|Chapter 4
مَا أَخْبَرَنِي بِهِ الشَّيْخُ أَيَّدَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ: إِنَّ أُنَاسًا يَقُولُونَ: إِنَّ بَطْنَ الْأُذُنَيْنِ مِنَ الْوَجْهِ وَظَهْرَهُمَا مِنَ الرَّأْسِ؟ فَقَالَ: لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِمَا غَسْلٌ وَلَا مَسْحٌ.
The Shaykh (Al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى support him, informed me from Abu al-Qasim Jaʿfar ibn Muhammad, from Muhammad ibn Yaʿqub, from Muhammad ibn Yahya, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Ibn Faddal, from Ibn Bukayr, from Zurarah, who said:
I asked Abu Jaʿfar عليه السلام: "Some people say that the inner part of the ears belongs to the face, and the outer part belongs to the head. What is your opinion?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "Neither the inner nor the outer parts of the ears require washing or wiping."
