حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حُنَيْنٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ وَالْمِسْوَرَ بْنَ مَخْرَمَةَ اخْتَلَفَا بِالْأَبْوَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ:‏‏‏‏ يَغْسِلُ الْمُحْرِمُ رَأْسَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ الْمِسْوَرُ:‏‏‏‏ لَا يَغْسِلُ الْمُحْرِمُ رَأْسَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَرْسَلَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ إِلَى أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ فَوَجَدَهُ يَغْتَسِلُ بَيْنَ الْقَرْنَيْنِ وَهُوَ يُسْتَرُ بِثَوْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ هَذَا ؟ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ حُنَيْنٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَسْأَلُكَ:‏‏‏‏ كَيْفَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَغْسِلُ رَأْسَهُ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَوَضَعَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ يَدَهُ عَلَى الثَّوْبِ فَطَأْطَأَهُ حَتَّى بَدَا لِي رَأْسُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لِإِنْسَانٍ يَصُبُّ عَلَيْهِ اصْبُبْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَصَبَّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ حَرَّكَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ رَأْسَهُ بِيَدَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَقْبَلَ بِهِمَا وَأَدْبَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُهُ يَفْعَلُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .

Abdullah bin Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما and Miswar bin Makhramah رضی اللہ عنہما differed amongst themselves (on the question of washing the head in the sacred state) at al Abwa. ‘Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما said A pilgrim in the sacred state (while wearing ihram) can wash his head. Al Miswar said A pilgrim in the sacred state (wearing ihram) cannot wash his head. Abdullah bin Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما then sent him (Abdullah bin Hunain) to Abu Ayyub Al Ansari رضی اللہ عنہ . He found him taking a bath between two woods erected at the edge of the well and he was hiding himself with a cloth (curtain). He (the narrator) said I saluted him. He asked Who is this? I said I am Abdullah bin Hunain. Abdullah bin Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما has sent me to you asking you how the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم used to wash his head while he was wearing ihram. Abu Ayyub then put his hand on the cloth and removed it till his head appeared to me. He then said to a person who was pouring water on him: Pour water. He poured water on his head and Abu Ayyub رضی اللہ عنہ moved his head with his hands. He carried his hands forward and backward. He then said I saw him doing similarly.
