Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1270 — Imam Nafi' (may Allah have mercy on him)
وَبِهِ : أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَخْبَرَهُ . أَنَّ كَعْبَ بْنَ عُجْرَةَ أَصَابَهُ أَذًى فِي رَأْسِهِ فَحَلَقَ ، فَأَمَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- أَنْ يَهْدِيَ هَدْيًا بَقَرَةً .
Imam Nafi' (may Allah have mercy on him) relates that a man from the Ansar informed him that Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) suffered an ailment in his head (because of a great many lice), so he shaved his head (while in the state of ihram). So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him "to slaughter a cow as a sacrificial offering (hady)."
