حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ کَعْبٍ عَنْ کَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ قَالَ أَمَرَنِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ آذَانِي الْقَمْلُ أَنْ أَحْلِقَ رَأْسِي وَأَصُومَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أُطْعِمَ سِتَّةَ مَسَاکِينَ وَقَدْ عَلِمَ أَنْ لَيْسَ عِنْدِي مَا أَنْسُکُ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3080
It was narrated that Ka'b bin 'Ujrah said: "The Prophet commanded me when I was suffering from lice, to shave my head and fast for three days or feed six poor persons. He knew that I did not have an animal I could sacrifice."
