2683 - Ahmad ibn 'Amr ibn al-Sarh and al-Harith ibn Miskin informed us, it being read to him while I was listening — and the wording is his — from Ibn Wahb: Yunus informed me, from Ibn Shihab, from Salim, from his father, who said: I saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, raising his voice in the talbiyah with his hair matted (mulabbid).(1)

It was also recorded similarly by Ahmad (6068), (26436), and (26437), al-Bukhari (4398), and Muslim (1229): (179) via multiple chains from Nafi', from him.
It will also come via Malik, from Nafi', from him, at no. (2781).

(1) Its chain is sound. Ibn Wahb: he is 'Abdullah Abu Muhammad al-Misri; Yunus: he is Ibn Yazid al-Ayli; Ibn Shihab: he is Muhammad ibn Muslim al-Zuhri; and Salim: he is Salim ibn 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar. It is in al-Sunan al-Kubra at no. (3649).
It was also recorded by Ibn Majah (3047) from Ahmad ibn 'Amr ibn al-Sarh alone, with this chain.
It was also recorded by al-Bukhari (1540), Muslim (1184): (21), and Abu Dawud (1747) via multiple chains from Ibn Wahb, from him. In Muslim's narration there is an addition mentioning the talbiyah: "Labbayk Allahumma labbayk..." and that he, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to pray two rak'ahs at Dhu al-Hulayfah... and that 'Umar used to raise his voice with the ihram of the Messenger of Allah... and say: "Labbayk Allahumma labbayk, labbayka wa sa'dayk..." The mention of the talbiyah and that he used to pray two rak'ahs at Dhu al-Hulayfah will come via 'Isa ibn Ibrahim, from Ibn Wahb, from him, at no. (2747).
It was also recorded by Ahmad (6021) and al-Bukhari (5915) via the chain of 'Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak, from Yunus ibn Yazid, from him, with the addition of mentioning the talbiyah.
It was also recorded by Ahmad (6146) via the chain of the nephew of Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri, from his uncle Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri, from him, with the addition of mentioning the talbiyah and 'Umar's ihram.
In all the narrations mentioned above: "I heard" (sami'tu) instead of "I saw" (ra'aytu), and the wording "I saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, with matted hair (mulabbid)" appears in the narration of Shu'ayb ibn Abi Hamzah:
Ahmad (6027) and al-Bukhari (5914) recorded via the chain of Shu'ayb ibn Abi Hamzah, from al-Zuhri, from him, that 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar said: I heard 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, say: Whoever plaits his hair, let him shave his head, and do not imitate talbīd. And Ibn 'Umar used to say: I indeed saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, with matted hair (mulabbid).
Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar said in Fath al-Bari 10/361: As for the statement of Ibn 'Umar, its apparent meaning is that he understood from his father that he held leaving talbīd to be more preferable, so he reported that he saw the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, doing it.
His saying "mulabbid" is from t albīd: that the muhrim puts gum or something else in his head so that his hair becomes matted, i.e.,
