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

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

Ka’ab bin ‘Ujrah said that the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ came upon him (during their stay) at Al Hudaibiyyah. He asked do the insects of your head (lice) annoy you? He said Yes. The Prophet ﷺ said Shave your head, then sacrifice a sheep as offering or fast three days or give three sa’s of dates to six poor people.

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

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came upon him (during their stay) at al-Hudaybiyyah. He then narrated the rest of the tradition. This version adds: "He asked: Do you have a sacrificial animal? He replied: No. He then said: Fast three days or give three sa's of dates to six poor people, giving one sa' to every two persons."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَرَّ بِهِ زَمَنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ فَذَكَرَ الْقِصَّةَ فَقَالَ أَمَعَكَ دَمٌ قَالَ لاَ قَالَ فَصُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ تَصَدَّقْ بِثَلاَثَةِ آصُعٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ عَلَى سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ بَيْنَ كُلِّ مِسْكِينَيْنِ صَاعٌ

[AI] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me during the time of Hudaybiyah while I had a lot of hair. He said, 'Does it bother you if I cut your hair?' I replied, 'Of course not.' He said, 'Then shave it off, sacrifice a sheep, fast for three days, or give charity equivalent to three sa' of dates to six poor people.'"

أَتَى عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ زَمَنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَأَنَا كَثِيرُ الشَّعْرِ فَقَالَ كَأَنَّ هَوَامَّ رَأْسِكَ تُؤْذِيكَ؟ فَقُلْتُ أَجَلْ قَالَ فَاحْلِقْهُ وَاذْبَحْ شَاةً أَوْ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ تَصَدَّقْ بِثَلَاثَةِ آصُعٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ

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 Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me during the time of Hudaybiyah while I had long hair, and he said, 'Does the length of your hair harm you?' I replied, 'Yes.' He said, 'Then shave it off and sacrifice a sheep as atonement, or fast for three days, or give charity by giving three sa' of dates to six poor people.'"

أَتَى عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ زَمِنُ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَأَنَا كَثِيرُ الشَّعْرِ فَقَالَ «كَأَنَّ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ تُؤْذِيكَ؟ » فَقُلْتُ أَجَلْ قَالَ «فَاحْلِقْهُ وَاذْبَحْ شَاةً نَسِيكَةً أَوْ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ تَصَدَّقْ بِثَلَاثَةِ آصُعِ تَمْرٍ بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ»

Ka’ab bin ‘Ujrah said that the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ came upon him (during their stay) at Al Hudaibiyyah. He asked do the insects of your head (lice) annoy you? He said Yes. The Prophet ﷺ said Shave your head, then sacrifice a sheep as offering or fast three days or give three sa’s of dates to six poor people. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1856)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَرَّ بِهِ زَمِنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ فَقَالَ «قَدْ آذَاكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ؟ » قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «احْلِقْ ثُمَّ اذْبَحْ شَاةً نُسُكًا أَوْ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ ثَلَاثَةَ آصُعٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ عَلَى سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ»

[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] 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 passed by me in the year of Al-Hudaybiyah, and there was an abundance of lice and nits from the root of every hair to its tip. He said, "Surely, this is a nuisance." I said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Shave your head, or slaughter a sacrifice, or fast for three days, or give charity of three Sa' (measurement) of dates to six needy people."

مَرَّ بِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَامَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَعَلَيَّ وَفْرَةٌ مِنْ أَصْلِ كُلِّ شَعْرَةٍ إِلَى فَرْعِهَا قَمْلٌ وَصِئْبَانٌ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ هَذَا لَأَذًى» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «فَاحْلِقْ وَاذْبَحْ أَوْ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ تَصَدَّقْ بِثَلَاثَةِ آصُعٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ عَلَى سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينٍ»

[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, and his hair at his temples harmed him, "Sacrifice a sheep as a ritual sacrifice, or fast for three days, or give charity of three quantity of food to six poor people."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ وَكَانَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِهِ آذَتْهُ «اذْبَحْ شَاةً نُسُكًا أَوْ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ تَصَدَّقْ بِثَلَاثَةِ آصُعٍ عَلَى سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينٍ»

أَتَى عَلِيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ زَمَنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَأَنَا كَثِيرُ الشَّعْرِ فَقَالَ «كَأَنَّ هَوَامَّ رَأْسِكَ يُؤْذِيكَ؟» فَقُلْتُ أَجَلْ فَقَالَ «أَحْلِقَهُ وَاذْبَحْ شَاةً أَوْ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ تَصَدَّقْ بِثَلَاثَةِ آصُعٍ بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينٍ»

[AI] The translation of the passage into English is as follows: "The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said to him, and his headache bothered him, 'Sacrifice an animal or fast for three days or give charity of three handfuls of food to six poor people.'"

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ وَكَانَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِهِ آذَتْهُ «اذْبَحْ نُسُكًا أَوْ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ تَصَدَّقْ بِثَلَاثَةِ آصُعٍ عَلَى سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينٍ»

[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

"قَدْ آذَاكَ هَوَامُّ رَأسكَ. احْلِقْ ثُمَّ اذبحْ شَاةً نُسُكًا، أوْ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، أو أَطْعِمْ ثَلاثَة آصُعٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ عَلَى سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ".

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