[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ saw him while he was in the state of ihram and had plenty of hair. He had lice or dandruff on top of his head, so he said, "Do you find difficulty in performing your rituals?" He replied, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then go, shorten your hair if you wish, or fast for three days, or feed six poor people, giving each of them half a sa of dates between every two poor people."  

الطبراني:١٦٣٥٤حَدَّثَنَا إِدْرِيسُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْعَطَّارُ ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أنا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدَ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَة

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَآهُ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ وَلَهُ وَفْرَةٌ وَبِأَصْلِ كُلِّ شَعْرَةٍ وَبِأَعْلَاهُ قَمْلَةٌ أَوْ صَؤَابٌ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ هَذَا لَأَذًى أَتَجِدُ نُسُكًا؟» قَالَ لَا قَالَ «فَانْطَلِقْ أَوْجِزْهُ فَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَصُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينٍ بَيْنَ كُلِّ مِسْكِينَيْنِ صَاعٌ مِنْ تَمْرٍ»
