Hadith 34477
Malik related to me from Humayd ibn Qays from Ata ibn Abi Rabah
that 'Umar ibn alKhattab once asked Yala ibn Munya, who was pouring
out water for him while he was having a ghusl, to pour some on his
head. Ya'la said, "Are you trying to make me responsible? I will only
pour it out if you tell me to do so." Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "Pour.
It will only make (my head) more unkempt."
Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 5

Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Ibrahim
ibn Abdullah ibn Hunayn from his father Abdullah ibn Hunayn that
Abdullah ibn Abbas and al-Miswar ibn Makhrama once had a disagreement
at al-Abwa. Abdullah said that some one in ihram could wash his head,
and al Miswar ibn Makhrama maintained that some one in ihram could not
wash his head.
Abdullah ibn Hunayn continued, "Abdullah ibn
Abbas sent me to Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, and I found him doing ghusl
between the posts of a well, screened by a garment. I greeted him and
hesaid, 'Who is that?' I replied, 'I am 'Abdullah ibn Hunayn.
'Abdullah ibn Abbas sent me to you to ask how the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to wash his head when he
was in ihram.' "
He continued, "Abu Ayyub put his hand on the
garment and pulled it down until I could see his head. He said to the
man who was pouring out the water for him, 'Pour,' and he poured some
over his head. Then he passed his hands over his head from the front
to the back and then to the front again, and then said, 'I saw the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, doing it
like this.' " Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 4

Malik related to me from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar would spend
the night between the two trails in the valley of Dhu Tuwa when he was
approaching Makka. Then he would pray subh, and after that he would
enter Makka by the trail which is at the highest part of Makka. He
would never enter Makka, if he was coming for hajj or umra, without
doing ghusl beforehand when he was near Makka at Dhu Tuwa, and he
would tell whoever was with him to do likewise. Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 6
