وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ
عَطَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْخُرَاسَانِيِّ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي
شَيْخٌ بِسُوقِ الْبُرَمِ، بِالْكُوفَةِ، عَنْ
كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : جَاءَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا أَنْفُخُ تَحْتَ قِدْرٍ لِأَصْحَابِي، وَقَدِ امْتَلَأَ رَأْسِي، وَلِحْيَتِي قَمْلًا، فَأَخَذَ بِجَبْهَتِي، ثُمَّ قَالَ :
" احْلِقْ هَذَا الشَّعَرَ، وَصُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ " وَقَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلِمَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ عِنْدِي مَا أَنْسُكُ بِهِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me while I was blowing on a pot for my companions, and my head and beard were filled with lice. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) held my forehead and said: "Shave these hairs and observe three fasts, or feed six needy people." And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) knew that I did not have anything for sacrifice.
