و حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ وَأَيُّوبَ وَحُمَيْدٍ وَعَبْدِ الْکَرِيمِ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَی عَنْ کَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ بِهِ وَهُوَ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ مَکَّةَ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ وَهُوَ يُوقِدُ تَحْتَ قِدْرٍ وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَهَافَتُ عَلَی وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ أَيُؤْذِيکَ هَوَامُّکَ هَذِهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاحْلِقْ رَأْسَکَ وَأَطْعِمْ فَرَقًا بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاکِينَ وَالْفَرَقُ ثَلَاثَةُ آصُعٍ أَوْ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ انْسُکْ نَسِيکَةً قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ أَوْ اذْبَحْ شَاةً
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 2881
Ka'b b. 'Ujra (Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be, upon him) stood near him and lice were falling from his head. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Do these vermins trouble you? I said: Yes. Thereupon he said: Then shave your head; and it was in connection with me that this verse was revealed: Whoever among you is sick or has an ailment of the head, he (may effect) a compensation by fasting or alms or a sacrifice . He (the Holy Prophet, therefore) said to me: Observe fast for three days or give a quantity of alms enough to feed six needy persons or offer sacrifice (of an animal) that is available.
