Sunan Abi Dawud 1856 (Book 11, Hadith 136) #22148
Offering Sacrifice for Lice Infestation

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) advised Ka’ab bin 'Ujrah to shave his head and either sacrifice a sheep, fast three days, or give three sa’s of dates to six poor people as an offering.

Ka’ab bin 'Ujrah said that the Apostle of Allaah came upon him (during their stay) at Al Hudaibiyah. He asked do the insects of your head (lice) annoy you? He said Yes. The Prophet said Shave your head, then sacrifice a sheep as offering or fast three days or give three sa’s of dates to six poor people.
حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الطَّحَّانِ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَرَّ بِهِ زَمَنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ قَدْ آذَاكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ احْلِقْ ثُمَّ اذْبَحْ شَاةً نُسُكًا أَوْ صُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ ثَلاَثَةَ آصُعٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ عَلَى سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ
