that al-Sindī said, "I said: This ḥadīth is not from the additions, rather it is in the two Ṣaḥīḥs and others." And I say: Each has their perspective, for al-Sindī considered the meaning required by the context, as I have indicated. Al-Būṣīrī considered the wording, and there is no doubt that with this addition "and wash yourself," it is indeed an addition to the two Shaykhs, and for this reason, al-Būṣīrī included it, discussed its isnād, and deemed it trustworthy. He should have declared its authenticity as Majd Ibn Taymiyyah did in "al-Muntaqá," and Allāh is the grantor of success. There is no contradiction between the ḥadīth and what Abū al-Zubayr narrated from ʿUbayd ibn ʿUmayr who said: "It reached ʿĀʾishah that ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr instructed women, when they washed, to undo their hair, so she said: 'How strange is this Ibn ʿAmr, instructing women to undo their hair when they wash! Why doesn't he instruct them to shave their heads?! I used to wash with the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) from a single vessel, and I would not do more than pour three handfuls over my head.'" It was narrated by Muslim (1/179), Ibn Abī Shaybah (1/24/1-2), al-Bayhaqī (1/181), and Aḥmad (6/43). I say: There is no contradiction between it and this for two reasons: First, it is more authentic than this. For although this was narrated by Muslim, Abū al-Zubayr is a known mudallis and he narrated it with ʿanʿanah. Second, it pertains to menstruation, while this pertains to major ritual impurity, as is apparent, and they are reconciled by saying that undoing the hair is required for menstruation but not for major ritual impurity. This is the view of Imām Aḥmad and others among the predecessors. This reconciliation is preferable, as there is supporting evidence for this ḥadīth from Umm Salamah who said:
