رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ

[Machine] 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»

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

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."
