Bulugh al-Maram 1 The Book of Purification كتاب الطهارة 49

وَعَنْهُ, { أَنَّهُ رَأَى اَلنَّبِيَّ – صلى الله عليه وسلم -يَأْخُذُ لِأُذُنَيْهِ مَاءً خِلَافَ اَلْمَاءِ اَلَّذِي أَخَذَ لِرَأْسِهِ. } أَخْرَجَهُ اَلْبَيْهَقِيّ ُ 1 . 1 – البيهقي (1 /65) وقال: “هذا إسناد صحيح”.

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Zaid (rad): He saw the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) taking some water to wipe his ears other than the water he had taken to wipe his head. [Reported by Al-Baihaqi, who said that its Isnad (chain of narrators) is authentic and At-Tirmidhi also graded it Sahih].
