Muwatta Malik #983
Hajj
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْجَزَرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مُحْرِمًا فَآذَاهُ الْقَمْلُ فِي رَأْسِهِ فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يَحْلِقَ رَأْسَهُ وَقَالَ
" صُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ مُدَّيْنِ مُدَّيْنِ لِكُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ أَوِ انْسُكْ بِشَاةٍ أَىَّ ذَلِكَ فَعَلْتَ أَجْزَأَ عَنْكَ " .
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd al-Karim ibn Malik al-
Jazari from Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abi Layla from Kab ibn Ujra that one
time he was with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, in ihram, and he was suffering from lice on his head. The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, told him
to shave his head, saying, "Fast three days, or feed six poor people,
two mudds for each person, or sacrifice a sheep. If you do any of
those it will be enough for you."
