5703. Narrated Ka'b bin 'Ujrah: The Prophet ﷺ came to me during the period of Al-Hudaibiya, while I was lighting fire underneath a cooking pot and lice were falling down from my head. He said, "Do your lice hurt you?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Shave your head and observe Saum (fast) for three days or feed six poor persons or slaughter a sheep as a sacrifice."
5703 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُجَاهِدًا، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ كَعْبٍ هُوَ ابْنُ عُجْرَةَ، قَالَ: أَتَى عَلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ زَمَنَ الحُدَيْبِيَةِ، وَأَنَا أُوقِدُ تَحْتَ بُرْمَةٍ، وَالقَمْلُ يَتَنَاثَرُ عَنْ رَأْسِي، فَقَالَ: «أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ؟» قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ ، قَالَ: «فَاحْلِقْ، وَصُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةً، أَوْ انْسُكْ نَسِيكَةً» قَالَ أَيُّوبُ: لاَ أَدْرِي بِأَيَّتِهِنَّ بَدَأَ
