English translation

2854. It was narrated from Ka'b bin 'Ujrah, that he was with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ in Iḥrām and he suffered an infestation of head lice. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ commanded him to shave his head and told him: “Fast for three days, or feed six poor persons two Mudds each, or sacrifice a sheep. Whichever one of these you do will be sufficient for you.” (Šahīh)

Arabic text

2851 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ، قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، عَنْ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْجَزَرِيِّ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُحْرِمًا، فَآذَاهُ الْقَمْلُ فِي رَأْسِهِ " فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنْ يَحْلِقَ رَأْسَهُ، وَقَالَ: صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ، مُدَّيْنِ مُدَّيْنِ أَوْ انْسُكْ شَاةً، أَيَّ ذَلِكَ فَعَلْتَ أَجْزَأَ عَنْكَ "

Commentary

1. This incident belongs to the expedition of Hudaibiyah, because the intention had been for the performance of 'Umrah. All of them had entered Iḥrām. 2. "Whichever you fulfill": So to say, there is no sequence in it. There is sequence in some other expiation.
