Sunan Abi DawudHadith Number 254
حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، - رضى الله عنها - قَالَتْ كُنَّا نَغْتَسِلُ وَعَلَيْنَا الضِّمَادُ وَنَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مُحِلاَّتٌ وَمُحْرِمَاتٌ .
'Aishah said: we took a bath while having an adhesive substance over us (our head) in both states, namely, when wearing a robe for Hajj (ihram) and when wearing ordinary clothes (not meant for Hajj).
[1] Ad-Dimād : Bandages, swathes, dressings, compressions and the like. The meaning here is that their hair would be matted with thick balms. The word Ad-Dimād was used to refer to the appearance of the hair resulting from the substances used to mat the hair. Similar is mentioned in narrations in the Book of Hajj under the topic of Talbid , see no. 1747.Reference : Sunan Abi Dawud 254In-book reference : Book 1, Hadith 254English translation : Book 1, Hadith 254
