Arabic text

254 - حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: «كُنَّا نَغْتَسِلُ وَعَلَيْنَا الضِّمَادُ، وَنَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُحِلَّاتٌ وَمُحْرِمَاتٌ»

    [1] Ad-Dīmād: Bandages, swathes, dressings, compressions and the like. The meaning here is that their hair would be matted with thick balms. The word Ad-Dīmād 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 Talbīd, see no. 1747.
