they had a difference of opinion in al-Abwa. Ibn 'Abbas said: "The Muhrim (Pilgrim in Ihram) may wash his head." Al-Miswar said: "He should not wash his head."Ibn 'Abbas sent me (the narrator) to Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari to ask him about that. I found him performing Ghusl in front of the well, screened with a cloth. I greeted him with Salam and said: "Abdullah bin 'Abbas has sent me to you to ask you how the Messenger of Allah used to wash his head when he was in Ihram." Abu put his hand on the cloth and lowered it, until his head appeared, then he told someone to puor water on his head. Then he rubbed his head with his hands, back and forth, and said: "This is what I saw the Messenger of Allah do."

ʿAbdullah bin Al-Abbas and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama differed at Al-Abwa'; Ibn ʿAbbas said that a Muhrim could wash his head; while Al-Miswar maintained that he should not do so. ʿAbdullah bin ʿAbbas sent me to Abu Aiyub Al-Ansari and I found him bathing between the two wooden posts (of the well) and was screened with a sheet of cloth. I greeted him and he asked who I was. I replied, "I am ʿAbdullah bin Hunain and I have been sent to you by Ibn ʿAbbas to ask you how Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to wash his head while in the state of lhram." Abu Aiyub Al-Ansari caught hold of the sheet of cloth and lowered it till his head appeared before me, and then told somebody to pour water on his head. He poured water on his head, and he (Abu Aiyub) rubbed his head with his hands by bringing them from back to front and from front to back and said, "I saw the Prophet ﷺ doing like this."

that there cropped up a difference of opinion between Abdullah b. 'Abbas and al-Miswar b. Makhrama at a place (called) Abwa'. Abdullah b. 'Abbas contended that a Muhrim (is permitted) to wash his head, whereas Miswar contended that a Muhrim is not (permit- fed) to wash his head. So Ibn Abbas sent me (the father of Ibrabim) to Abu Ayyub al- Ansirl to ask him about it. (So I went to him) and found him taking bath behind two poles covered by a cloth. I gave him salutation, whereupon be asked: Who is this? I said: I am 'Abdullah b. Hunain. 'Abdullah b. 'Abbas has sent me to you to find out how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ washed his head in the state of Ihram. Abu Ayyub (Allah be pleased with him) placed his hand on the cloth and lowered it (a little) till his head became visible to me; and he said to the man who was pouring water upon him to pour water. He poured water on his head. He then moved his head with the help of his hands and moved them (the hands) forward and backward and then said: This is how I saw him (the Messenger of Allah) doing.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Ibrahim ibn Abdullah ibn Hunayn from his father Abdullah ibn Hunayn that Abdullah ibn Abbas and al-Miswar ibn Makhrama once had a disagreement at al-Abwa. Abdullah said that some one in ihram could wash his head, and al Miswar ibn Makhrama maintained that some one in ihram could not wash his head. Abdullah ibn Hunayn continued, "Abdullah ibn Abbas sent me to Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, and I found him doing ghusl between the posts of a well, screened by a garment. I greeted him and hesaid, 'Who is that?' I replied, 'I am 'Abdullah ibn Hunayn. 'Abdullah ibn Abbas sent me to you to ask how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to wash his head when he was in ihram.' " He continued, "Abu Ayyub put his hand on the garment and pulled it down until I could see his head. He said to the man who was pouring out the water for him, 'Pour,' and he poured some over his head. Then he passed his hands over his head from the front to the back and then to the front again, and then said, 'I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ doing it like this.' "

[Machine] Al-Qa'nabi narrated from Malik, from Zaid bin Aslam, from Ibrahim bin Abdullah bin Hunayn, from his father, that Ibn Abbas and Musawir bin Makhrama differed regarding the ablution of a person in a state of ihram (ritual consecration for Hajj or Umrah). Ibn Abbas said that the person in ihram should wash his head, while Musawir said that the person in ihram should not wash his head. So, Ibn Abbas sent him to Abu Ayyub al-Ansari. He found him washing between the two pillars while covering himself with a garment. Ibn Abbas greeted him, and Abu Ayyub asked, "Who is this?" Ibn Abbas replied, "I am Abdullah bin Hunayn, sent to you by Abdullah bin Abbas. I ask you how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to wash his head while in a state of ihram?" Abu Ayyub placed his hand on the garment and nodded at me, then said to someone, "Pour (water) over his head." So, he poured water over his head, and Abu Ayyub moved his head with his hands, both facing the Kaaba and turning away from it. Then, Abu Ayyub said, "This is how I saw him (the Prophet) doing it."

[Machine] Tamara (a female name) is the daughter of Abdullah and Al-Miswar is the son of Makhrama. They were washing the head of the person in a state of ihram, so they sent me to Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari. I went to him while he was washing between the two horns of a well. When he saw me, he covered his body with his garment. So I said, "The son of your brother, Ibn Abbas, sent me to ask you how you saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pouring water on his head while in a state of ihram?" He poured water on his head and said, "Like this," gesturing and placing his hand on his head, he did it three times.

[Machine] I came to him and found Abu Ayyub between the two horns washing his head covered with a garment, so I asked him. He pulled the garment with his hand until his head appeared, then moved his head and hair with his hands. He turned his hands in his hair and turned away. Then he said, "This is how I saw the Messenger of Allah SAW perform ghusl while in a state of ihram." Ibrahim said, "So I returned to them and informed them."

[Machine] Ibn Abbas? Yes, Ibn Abbas sent me to Abu Ayyub to recite to you the greetings from your nephew Abdullah ibn Abbas and ask you how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform ghusl and wash his head when in a state of ihram. So, I found him performing ghusl between the two sides of a well that was covered with a cloth. When I approached him and asked him, he brought the cloth closer to himself until his face and head became visible, and there was a person standing by the well pouring water over him. Abu Ayyub then instructed me to put my hands on his head, so I approached him with my hands and then moved away. Al-Miswar said to Ibn Abbas, "I have never seen you doing this before," and Ibn Juraij did not narrate this part.

they had a difference of opinion in al-Abwa. Ibn 'Abbas said: "The Muhrim (Pilgrim in Ihram) may wash his head." Al-Miswar said: "He should not wash his head."Ibn 'Abbas sent me (the narrator) to Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari to ask him about that. I found him performing Ghusl in front of the well, screened with a cloth. I greeted him with Salam and said: "Abdullah bin 'Abbas has sent me to you to ask you how the Messenger of Allah used to wash his head when he was in Ihram." Abu put his hand on the cloth and lowered it, until his head appeared, then he told someone to puor water on his head. Then he rubbed his head with his hands, back and forth, and said: "This is what I saw the Messenger of Allah do." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2665)

Pour water. He poured water on his head and Abu Ayyub moved his head with his hands. He carried his hands forward and backward. He then said I saw him doing similarly. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1840)
