Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ، قَالَ: أَتَى عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، 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 " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that during the time of Hudaybiyyah, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) came to me. My hair was very long. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Perhaps the lice on your head have troubled you a lot?" I replied, "Yes!" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) then ordered him to shave his head and said, "Fast for three days, or feed six needy people, each with two mudd of food, or offer a sacrifice of one goat."
