أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الرِّبَاطِيُّ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ الدَّشْتَکِيُّ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَمْرٌو وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي قَيْسٍ عَنْ الزُّبَيْرِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ عَدِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ کَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ قَالَ أَحْرَمْتُ فَکَثُرَ قَمْلُ رَأْسِي فَبَلَغَ ذَلِکَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَتَانِي وَأَنَا أَطْبُخُ قِدْرًا لِأَصْحَابِي فَمَسَّ رَأْسِي بِإِصْبَعِهِ فَقَالَ انْطَلِقْ فَاحْلِقْهُ وَتَصَدَّقْ عَلَی سِتَّةِ مَسَاکِينَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2859
It was narrated that Ka’b bin ‘Ujrah said: “I entered Ihram, then I had a severe infestation of head lice. News of that reached the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم 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.” (Sahih)
