English translation

[2881] 83 - (...) It was narrated from Ka'b bin 'Ujrah [may Allāh be pleased with them] that the Prophet ﷺ passed by him when he was in Al-Hudaybiyah, before he entered Makkah, and he was in Ihrām, and he was lighting a fire beneath a cooking pot, with lice crawling on his face. He said: "Are these vermin bothering you?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Shave your head and give a Faraq (three Ṣā') of food to be shared between six poor persons, or fast for three days, or offer a sacrifice." Ibn Abī Najīh said: "Or slaughter a sheep."

83 - (1201) وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، وَأَيُّوبَ، وَحُمَيْدٍ، وَعَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ بِهِ وَهُوَ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ، قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ مَكَّةَ، وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ، وَهُوَ يُوقِدُ تَحْتَ قِدْرٍ، وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَهَافَتُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ، فَقَالَ: «أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ هَذِهِ؟» قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «فَاحْلِقْ رَأْسَكَ، وَأَطْعِمْ فَرَقًا بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ، - وَالْفَرَقُ ثَلَاثَةُ آصُعٍ -، أَوْ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، أَوْ انْسُكْ نَسِيكَةً» قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ: «أَوِ اذْبَحْ شَاةً»
