1814. Narrated 'Abdur-Rahmān bin Abū Lailā: Ka'b bin 'Ujra رضي الله عنه said that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said to him (Ka'b), "Perhaps your lice have troubled you?" Ka'b replied, "Yes! O Allāh's Messenger." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Have your head shaved and then either fast three days, or feed six poor persons or slaughter one sheep as a sacrifice."

Arabic text

1814 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «لَعَلَّكَ آذَاكَ هَوَامُّكَ»، قَالَ: نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «احْلِقْ رَأْسَكَ، وَصُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ، أَوْ انْسُكْ بِشَاةٍ»
