الطبراني:١٦٣٢٤حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ الرَّازِيُّ ثنا هَارُونُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ أَبِي قَيْسٍ عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ قَالَ لَقِيتُ كَعْبَ بْنَ عُجْرَةَ بِالسُّوقِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ حَلْقِ رَأْسِهِ فَقَالَ

لَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَمَسَحَ رَأْسِي فَقَالَ «كَفَى بِهَذَا أَذًى» فَتَنَاثَرَ الْقَمْلُ فَقَالَ «انْطَلِقْ فَاحْلِقْ وَتَصَدَّقْ عَلَى سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينٍ»
