English translation

2855. It was narrated that Ka'b bin 'Ujrah said: "I entered Iḥrām, then I had a severe infestation of head lice. News of that reached the Prophet ﷺ, and he came to me when I was cooking something in a pot for my companions. He touched my head with his finger and said: 'Go and shave it, and give charity to six poor persons.'" (Šahīh)

Arabic text

2852 - أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الرِّبَاطِيُّ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ الدَّشْتَكِيُّ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَمْرٌو وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي قَيْسٍ، عَنْ الزُّبَيْرِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ، قَالَ: أَحْرَمْتُ، فَكَثُرَ قَمْلُ رَأْسِي، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَتَانِي، وَأَنَا أَطْبُخُ قِدْرًا لِأَصْحَابِي فَمَسَّ رَأْسِي بِإِصْبَعِهِ، فَقَالَ: «انْطَلِقْ فَاحْلِقْهُ، وَتَصَدَّقْ عَلَى سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ»
