Abdullah ibn Abbas and al-Miswar ibn Makhramah differed about whether the muhrim should wash his head. Ibn Abbas said: 'He may wash his head.' So Ibn Abbas sent me to Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, and I found him bathing between the two posts of the well, screened by a cloth. I greeted him and he asked who I was. I said: 'Abdullah ibn Hunayn, sent by Ibn Abbas to ask how the Messenger of Allah used to wash his head while in الإحرام.' Abu Ayyub placed his hand on the cloth and lowered it until his head was visible, then said to a man pouring water for him: 'Pour.' The man poured water on his head, and Abu Ayyub rubbed his head with his hands, moving them forward and backward, and said: 'This is how I saw النبي (صلى الله عليه وسلم) do it.'
