Abdullah Bin Hunain said Abdullah Bin Abbas and Miswar Bin Makhramah differed amongst themselves on the question of washing the head in the sacred state at AlAbwa. Ibn Abbas said A pilgrim in the sacred state while wearing ihram can wash his head. AlMiswar said A pilgrim in the sacred state wearing ihram cannot wash his head. Abdullah Bin Abbas then sent him Abdullah Bin Hunain to Abu Ayoub AlAnsari. 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 has sent me to you asking you how the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ used to wash his head while he was wearing ihram. Abu Ayoub 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 Ayoub moved his head with his hands. He carried his hands forward and backward. He then said I saw him doing similarly.
