Jami at-Tirmidhi 953 (Book 9, Hadith 147) #26520
Advice for Troubled Souls

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) passed by a man who was troubled by lice and advised him to shave his head, feed six poor people, fast three days or slaughter a sacrifice.

Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Laila narrated from Ka'b bin Ujrah that: The Prophet passed by him while he was at Al-Hudaibiyah, before entering Makkah, and he was a Muhrim. He had lit a fire under a cooking pot and lice were falling all over his face. So he (the Prophet) said: "Have these lice of yours troubled you?" He said: "Yes". He said: "Shave and feed six of the poor with a Faraq" and a Faraq is three Sa - "or fast three days, or slaughter a sacrifice". Ibn Abi Najih (one of the narrators) said: "Or slaughter a sheep".
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ السَّخْتِيَانِيِّ، وَابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، وَحُمَيْدٍ الأَعْرَجِ، وَعَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ مَرَّ بِهِ وَهُوَ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ مَكَّةَ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ وَهُوَ يُوقِدُ تَحْتَ قِدْرٍ وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَهَافَتُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَتُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ هَذِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ احْلِقْ وَأَطْعِمْ فَرَقًا بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَالْفَرَقُ ثَلاَثَةُ آصُعٍ ‏"‏ أَوْ صُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوِ انْسُكْ نَسِيكَةً ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ ‏"‏ أَوِ اذْبَحْ شَاةً ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ وَغَيْرِهِمْ أَنَّ الْمُحْرِمَ إِذَا حَلَقَ رَأْسَهُ أَوْ لَبِسَ مِنَ الثِّيَابِ مَا لاَ يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَلْبَسَ فِي إِحْرَامِهِ أَوْ تَطَيَّبَ فَعَلَيْهِ الْكَفَّارَةُ بِمِثْلِ مَا رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet's advice to a man who was troubled by lice. The Prophet asked if the lice had been troubling him and upon receiving an affirmative answer, he advised him to shave his head, feed six poor people with a Faraq of food, fast three days or slaughter a sacrifice. A Faraq is equivalent to three Sa', which is roughly equivalent to 3 kilograms of wheat or barley. Ibn Abi Najih added that it could also be interpreted as slaughtering a sheep instead of sacrificing food items. This hadith teaches us that we should always be kind and generous towards those in need and help them out in whatever way we can. It also shows us how much importance the Prophet placed on helping those less fortunate than ourselves as well as taking care of our own health and hygiene.
