وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، ثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَطَاءٌ، أَخْبَرَنِي صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَعْلَى، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ:

بَيْنَمَا عُمَرُ ؓ يَغْتَسِلُ إِلَى بَعِيرٍ، يَعْنِي وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ، وَأَنَا أَسْتُرُ عَلَيْهِ بِثَوْبٍ، إِذْ قَالَ لِي: « يَا يَعْلَى، اصْبُبْ عَلَى رَأْسِي الْمَاءَ ! ». قُلْتُ: أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: « وَاللهِ مَا أَرَى الْمَاءَ يَزِيدُ الشَّعَرَ إِلَّا شَعَثًا »، قَالَ: « بِسْمِ اللهِ »، وَأَفَاضَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ

✧ While Umar ؓ was performing ghusl beside a camel—meaning while he was in ihram—and I was screening him with a garment, he said to me: “O Ya'la, pour water on my head!” I said: “The Commander of the Faithful knows best.” He said: “By Allah, I do not think water increases the hair except in dishevelment.” He said: “In the name of Allah,” and he poured water over his head.
