Praise be to Allah!
It was their "understanding" to wash up till the elbows and not beyond that or is it what they narrated to have observed?
Both actually.

Would you be able to verify (from the person who taught you) as to which scholar/madh-hab made it a condition for a quarter of your head to be wet?
What is required with regards to wiping over the head is that wet 'hands' are used to 'wipe' over the head ONCE.
Assalamu Aleykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakaathuh brothers and sisters.
As I recall about the "weak hadith" (<whether it really is a Hadith or not), it does NOT say anything about wiping the NECK, it talks about wiping the NAPE. And for ALL THOSE PEOPLE who can't sacrifice 4 seconds of their time to search up the word "nape" on Google or Wikipedia, the nape reffers to the back of the neck (and not the entire neck, which some people are misunderstanding).
There are two opinions:
1.) Wiping the nape is Sunnah
2.) Wiping the neck/nape is Bidah
Bottom line:
The people who beleive that wiping the nape is Sunnah have their evidence, reference, their Masha'ikh, and Fuqahaa who beleive that wiping the NAPE (back of the neck) is SUNNAH (and not Wajib/Fardh, so if someone does NOT wipe the back of their neck, their Wudhu would STILL BE VALID), so there's no reason for people to start fighting over minor Fiqh issues instead of (verbally and intellectually) fighting those Kuffar who constantly attack, insult, and mock Allah (SWT), Islam, and the Anbiya (ASWS).
