Sacrificing a Cow as Offering

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered a man from the Ansar to sacrifice a cow as offering after he shaved his head due to lice.

A man from the Ansar said on the authority of Ka'b ibn Ujrah that he was feeling pain in his head (due to lice); so he shaved his head. The Prophet ordered him to sacrifice a cow as offering.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ، - وَكَانَ قَدْ أَصَابَهُ فِي رَأْسِهِ أَذًى فَحَلَقَ فَأَمَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ أَنْ يُهْدِيَ هَدْيًا بَقَرَةً
