حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَيْفٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُجَاهِدٌ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَی أَنَّ کَعْبَ بْنَ عُجْرَةَ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ وَقَفَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَرَأْسِي يَتَهَافَتُ قَمْلًا فَقَالَ يُؤْذِيکَ هَوَامُّکَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاحْلِقْ رَأْسَکَ أَوْ قَالَ احْلِقْ قَالَ فِيَّ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فَمَنْ کَانَ مِنْکُمْ مَرِيضًا أَوْ بِهِ أَذًی مِنْ رَأْسِهِ إِلَی آخِرِهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ تَصَدَّقْ بِفَرَقٍ بَيْنَ سِتَّةٍ أَوْ انْسُکْ بِمَا تَيَسَّرَ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 1815
Narrated Ka`b bin `Umra: Allah's Apostle stood beside me at Al-Hudaibiya and the lice were falling from my head in great number. He asked me, "Have your lice troubled you?" I replied in the affirmative. He ordered me to get my head shaved. Ka`b added, "This Holy Verse:--'And if any of you is ill, or has ailment in his scalp (2.196), etc. was revealed regarding me. "The Prophet then ordered me either to fast three days, or to feed six poor persons with one Faraq (three Sas) (of dates), or to slaughter a sheep, etc. (sacrifice) whatever was available.
