Sunan an-Nasai 2665 (Book 24, Hadith 47) #17276
Washing the Head While in Ihram

SUMMARY: The hadith is about how the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to wash his head while in Ihram.

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas and Al-Miswar bin Makhramah that: 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 pour 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".
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حُنَيْنٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَالْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ، أَنَّهُمَا اخْتَلَفَا بِالأَبْوَاءِ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يَغْسِلُ الْمُحْرِمُ رَأْسَهُ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ الْمِسْوَرُ لاَ يَغْسِلُ رَأْسَهُ ‏.‏ فَأَرْسَلَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ إِلَى أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَوَجَدْتُهُ يَغْتَسِلُ بَيْنَ قَرْنَىِ الْبِئْرِ وَهُوَ مُسْتَتِرٌ بِثَوْبٍ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَقُلْتُ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَسْأَلُكَ كَيْفَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَغْسِلُ رَأْسَهُ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ فَوَضَعَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ يَدَهُ عَلَى الثَّوْبِ فَطَأْطَأَهُ حَتَّى بَدَا رَأْسُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لإِنْسَانٍ يَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ حَرَّكَ رَأْسَهُ بِيَدَيْهِ فَأَقْبَلَ بِهِمَا وَأَدْبَرَ وَقَالَ هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَفْعَلُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to wash his head while in a state of Ihram, which is a sacred state that Muslims enter when performing Hajj or Umrah. According to this hadith, Ibn Abbas and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama disagreed on whether or not it was permissible for a person in Ihram to wash their head. To settle this disagreement, Ibn Abbas sent someone to ask Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari who witnessed the Prophet washing his head while he was in Ihram. Abu Ayyub then demonstrated what he saw by pouring water on his own head and rubbing it with his hands back and forth as an example of what he saw the Messenger of Allah do. This hadith teaches us that we should follow the Sunnah of our beloved prophet even if there are disagreements among us regarding certain matters related to Islamic teachings.
