Kaʿb bin 'Ujra said that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him (Kaʿb), "Perhaps your lice have troubled you?" Kaʿb replied, "Yes! O Messenger of Allah ﷺ." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Have your head shaved and then either fast three days or feed six poor persons or slaughter one sheep as a sacrifice."

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَعَلَّكَ آذَاكَ هَوَامُّكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ احْلِقْ رَأْسَكَ وَصُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ أَوِ انْسُكْ بِشَاةٍ

The Prophet ﷺ came to me at the time of Al-Hudaibiya Pledge while lice were falling on my face. He said, "Are the lice of your head troubling you?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Shave your head and fast for three days, or feed six poor persons, or slaughter a sheep as sacrifice." (The sub-narrator, Aiyub said, "I do not know with which of these three options he started.")

أَتَى عَلَىَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ زَمَنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَنَاثَرُ عَلَى وَجْهِي فَقَالَ {أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ} قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاحْلِقْ وَصُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ أَوِ انْسُكْ نَسِيكَةً قَالَ أَيُّوبُ لاَ أَدْرِي بِأَىِّ هَذَا بَدَأَ

The Prophet ﷺ came to me during the period of Al-Hudaibiya, while I was lighting fire underneath a cooking pot and lice were falling down my head. He said, "Do your lice hurt your?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Shave your head and fast for three days or feed six poor persons or slaughter a sheep as a sacrifice:"

أَتَى عَلَىَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ زَمَنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَأَنَا أُوقِدُ تَحْتَ بُرْمَةٍ وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَنَاثَرُ عَنْ رَأْسِي فَقَالَ أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاحْلِقْ وَصُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةً أَوِ انْسُكْ نَسِيكَةً قَالَ أَيُّوبُ لاَ أَدْرِي بِأَيَّتِهِنَّ بَدَأَ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me on the occasion of Hudaibiya and I was kindling fire under my cooking pot and lice were creeping on my face. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Do the vermins harm your head? I said: Yes. He said: Get your head shaved and (in lieu of it) observe fasts for three days or feed six needy persons, or offer sacrifice (of an animal). Ayyub said: I do not know with what (type of expiation) did he commence (the statement).

أَتَى عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ زَمَنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَأَنَا أُوقِدُ تَحْتَ قَالَ الْقْوَارِيرِيُّ قِدْرٍ لِي وَقَالَ أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ بُرْمَةٍ لِي وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَنَاثَرُ عَلَى وَجْهِي فَقَالَ أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاحْلِقْ وَصُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ أَوِ انْسُكْ نَسِيكَةً قَالَ أَيُّوبُ فَلاَ أَدْرِي بِأَىِّ ذَلِكَ بَدَأَ

Do these vermins trouble your head? He said: Yes. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Shave your head. Then sacrifice a goat or observe fasts for three days or give three sits of dates to feed six needy persons.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَرَّ بِهِ زَمَنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ آذَاكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ احْلِقْ رَأْسَكَ ثُمَّ اذْبَحْ شَاةً نُسُكًا أَوْ صُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ ثَلاَثَةَ آصُعٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ عَلَى سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ

from Ka'b bin 'Ujrah who said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me while I was lighting a fire under a pot, and lice were falling on my face, or on my eye-brows. He said: 'Are your lice bothering you?'" [He said:] "I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then shave your head and offer a sacrifice, or fast three days, or feed six needy people.'" Ayyub said: "I do not know which of them he started with."

أَتَى عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا أُوقِدُ تَحْتَ قِدْرٍ وَالْقَمْلُ تَتَنَاثَرُ عَلَى جَبْهَتِي أَوْ قَالَ حَاجِبِي فَقَالَ أَتُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاحْلِقْ رَأْسَكَ وَانْسُكْ نَسِيكَةً أَوْ صُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطَعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ قَالَ أَيُّوبُ لاَ أَدْرِي بِأَيَّتِهِنَّ بَدَأَ

He said: 'Are your lice bothering you?'" [He said:] "I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then shave your head and offer a sacrifice, or fast three days, or feed six needy people.'" Ayyub said: "I do not know which of them he started with." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2974)

أَتَى عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا أُوقِدُ تَحْتَ قِدْرٍ وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَنَاثَرُ عَلَى وَجْهِي أَوْ قَالَ حَاجِبَيَّ فَقَالَ أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاحْلِقْهُ وَصُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ أَوْ انْسُكْ نَسِيكَةً قَالَ أَيُّوبُ لَا أَدْرِي بِأَيَّتِهِنَّ بَدَأَ

Yahya related to me from Malik from Humayd bin Qays from Mujahid Abu'l Hajjaj from Ibn Abi Layla from Kab ibn Ujra that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Perhaps your pests are troubling you?" He replied that indeed they were, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Shave your head and fast three days or feed six poor men or sacrifice a sheep."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ لَعَلَّكَ آذَاكَ هَوَامُّكَ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ احْلِقْ رَأْسَكَ وَصُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ أَوِ انْسُكْ بِشَاةٍ

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ passed by me while I was sitting under a pot and lice were crawling from my head. He ﷺ asked, "Are the lice bothering you?" I replied, "Yes." He ﷺ said, "Shave your head, fast for three days, or feed six poor people."

مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا أُوقِدُ تَحْتَ قِدْرٍ لِي وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَهَافَتُ مِنْ رَأْسِي فَقَالَ ﷺ «أَتُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ؟ » قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «انْسُكْ نَسِيكَةً أَوْ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوِ اطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by me in Hudaybiyah while I was sitting near a cooking pot or a small hole, and lice were crawling on my face. He said, "Are your lice bothering you, Ka'b?" I replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Shave your head and perform a ritual purification (Ghusl) or fast for three days, or feed six poor people as expiation."

مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَأَنَا أُوقِدُ تَحْتَ قِدْرٍ لِي أَوْ تَحْتَ بُرْمَةٍ لِي وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَهَافَتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي فَقَالَ «أَتُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ يَا كَعْبُ؟ » قُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «فَاحْلِقْ رَأْسَكَ وَانْسُكْ نَسِيكَةً أَوْ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ فَرَقًا بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ»

He said: 'Are your lice bothering you?'" [He said:] "I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then shave your head and offer a sacrifice, or fast three days, or feed six needy people.'" Ayyub said: "I do not know which of them he started with." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2974)

أَتَى عَلِيٌّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ زَمَنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَأَنَا أُوقِدُ تَحْتَ بُرْمَةٍ لِي وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَنَاثَرُ عَلَى وَجْهِي فَقَالَ «أَتُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ؟ » قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَاحْلِقْ وَصُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ أَوِ انْسُكْ شَاةً» قَالَ أَيُّوبُ فَلَا أَدْرِي بِأَيِّ ذَلِكَ بَدَأَ

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by me in Hudaybiyah while I was cooking a pot, and lice were crawling all over my face. He said, "Does the lice bother you?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Shave off your hair, then observe fast for three days, or slaughter a sheep, or feed six poor people, and give them something to wear as well."

مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَأَنَا أَطْبُخُ قِدْرًا وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَهَافَتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي فَقَالَ «أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَاحْلِقْ ثُمَّ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوِ اذْبَحْ شَاةً أَوْ أَطْعِمْ فَرَقًا بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينٍ»

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ passed by me in Al-Hudaybiyah while I was boiling a pot, and lice were swarming on my face. He asked, "Do the lice bother you?" I replied, "Yes." He said, "Shave your head, then observe three days of fasting or sacrifice a sheep, and feed six needy people."

مَرَّ بِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَنَا بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ أَطْبُخُ قِدْرًا وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَهَافَتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي فَقَالَ «أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَاحْلِقْ ثُمَّ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوِ اذْبَحْ شَاةً أَوْ أَطْعِمْ فَرَقًا بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينٍ»

[AI] Prophet Muhammad came to me during the time of Hudaybiyah, and I had a boil on my back while lice were falling on me. He asked, "Is your head itching?" I replied, "Yes." He said, "Shave your head and feed six poor people, or fast for three days, or sacrifice an animal."

أَتَى عَلِيَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ زَمَنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَأَنَا أُوقِدُ تَحْتَ بُرْمَةٍ لِي وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَنَاثَرُ عَلِيَّ فَقَالَ «أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «احْلِقْ وَأَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينٍ ثَلَاثَةَ آصُعٍ أَوْ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوِ انْسُكْ»

[AI] Ali came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the time of Hudaybiyah and found me sitting under a cooking pot while lice were crawling on my face. He asked, "Does the itchiness bother you?" I replied, "Yes." He said, "Shave your head, observe fasting for three days, feed six poor people, or sacrifice a sheep as expiation for your negligence." This narration is from the hadith of Ibn Ulayyah.

أَتَى عَلِيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ زَمَنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَأَنَا أُوقدُ تَحْتَ قِدْرٍ لِي وَالْقَمْلُ يُنْثَرُ عَلَى وَجْهِي فَقَالَ «أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَاحْلِقْ وَصُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينٍ أَوِ انْسُكْ نَسِيكَةً» وَاللَّفْظُ لِحَدِيثِ ابْنِ عُلَيَّةَ

[AI] The Prophet saw him as he was kindling a fire under a pot and lice were crowding on his face. He said, "Does your lice harm you?" The man said, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Shave your head and fast for three days, or feed six poor persons, or slaughter a sheep as a sacrifice."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَرَّ بِهِ وَهُوَ يُوقِدُ تَحْتَ قِدْرٍ لَهُ وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَهَافَتُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ «أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَاحْلِقْ رَأْسَكَ وَانْسُكْ أَوْ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ ثَلَاثَةَ آصُعٍ بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينٍ»

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ passed by me during the time of Hudaybiyah while I was cooking under a pot and the hair on my head was falling. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked me, "Is the heat bothering you?" I replied, "Yes." He said, "Shave your head and observe a three-day fast, or feed six poor people, or sacrifice an animal."

مَرَّ بِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ زَمَنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَأَنَا أُوقِدُ تَحْتَ قِدْرٍ لِي وَهَوَامُّ رَأْسِي تَسَّاقَطُ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ «احْلِقْ وَصُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينٍ أَوِ اذْبَحْ ذَبِيحَةً»

[AI] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came across a man in Hudaybiyah whose head was infested with lice. The Prophet asked him, 'Does the itching of your head bother you?' The man replied, 'Yes.' The Prophet then said, 'Shave your head.' He instructed me to fast for three days, or feed six needy persons, or sacrifice a sheep if it was affordable.'"

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَرَأْسُهُ يَتَهَافَتُ قَمْلًا فَقَالَ «أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «احْلِقْ رَأْسَكَ» فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَصُومَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أُطْعِمَ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينٍ أَوْ أَنْسُكُ مَا تَيَسَّرَ

[AI] The messenger of Allah ﷺ saw some marks on his face and said, "I see, O Ka'b, that something has harmed your head." He replied, "Yes, by Allah, O messenger of Allah." The Prophet said, "Shave your head and feed six poor people or fast for three days or sacrifice a sheep."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَأَى عَلَى وَجْهِهِ دَوَابَّ فَقَالَ «إِنِّي لَأَرَاكَ يَا كَعْبُ قَدْ آذَاكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ؟» قَالَ أَجَلْ وَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «احْلِقْ رَأْسَكَ وَأَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينٍ أَوْ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوِ انْسُكْ شَاةً»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Perhaps your spoiling is causing you harm?" So, I said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Shave your head, fast for three days, or feed six poor people, or slaughter a sheep."

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَعَلَّكَ آذَاكَ هَوَامُّكَ؟ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ احْلِقْ رَأْسَكَ وَصُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ أَوِ انْسُكْ شَاةً

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by a man in Hudaybiyah and said to him, "Is that your hair?" The man replied, "Yes." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said to him, "Shave it off, then either offer a sacrifice or fast for three days, or feed six poor people with a few dates."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَرَّ بِهِ زَمَنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ فَقَالَ آذَاكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ احْلِقْ ثُمَّ اذْبَحْ نُسُكًا أَوْ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ ثَلَاثَةَ آصُعٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ

"لَعَلَّكَ آذَاكَ هَوَامُّكَ، احْلِقْ رأْسَكَ وَصُمْ ثَلاثَةَ أيَّام، أوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ، أَو انْسُكَ شَاةً".
