Ka’b bin ‘Ujra said that Allah’s Apostle said to him (Ka’b), “Perhaps your lice have troubled you?”

Volume 3, Book 28, Number 44:
Narrated Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Layla:
(Reporting the speech of Ka’b bin Umra) Allah’s Apostle saw him (i.e. Ka’b) while the lice were fall –
ing on his face. He asked (him), “Have your lice troubled you?” He replied in the affirmative. So, he
ordered him to get his head shaved while he was at Al-Hudaibiya. At that time they were not permit –
ted to finish their Ihram, and were still hoping to enter Mecca. So, Allah revealed the verses of Al-
Fidya. Allah’s Apostle ordered him to feed six poor persons with one Faraq of food or to slaughter one
sheep (as a sacrifice) or to fast for three days.
