Sahih Muslim 1201f (Book 15, Hadith 92) #10027
Atonement Through Sacrifice and Charity

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) advised Ka'b b. Ujra to shave his head and either sacrifice a goat, observe fasts for three days, or give three sits of dates to feed six needy persons as a form of atonement.

Ka'b b. Ujra (Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah happened to pass by him during the period of Hudaibiya. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said to him (Ka'b b. Ujra): Do these vermins trouble your head? He said: Yes. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Shave your head. Then sacrifice a goat or observe fasts for three days or give three sits of dates to feed six needy persons.
وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ، رضى الله عنه أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَرَّ بِهِ زَمَنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ ‏"‏ آذَاكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ احْلِقْ رَأْسَكَ ثُمَّ اذْبَحْ شَاةً نُسُكًا أَوْ صُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ ثَلاَثَةَ آصُعٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ عَلَى سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ
