Question:
The Shaykh said: What is the reality of what some people claim, namely that it is narrated that the Companions were sitting around the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and one of the believers stood up to relieve himself, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the gathering of the people, and from that came the command regarding wiping the ears?
