Hadith text

Narrated Ka`b bin 'Ujra:I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said to me, "Come near." So I went near to him and he said, "Are your lice troubling you?" I replied, "Yes." He said, "(Shave your head and) make expiation in the form of fasting, Sadaqa (giving in charity), or offering a sacrifice." (The sub-narrator) Aiyub said, "Fasting should be for three days, and the Nusuk (sacrifice) is to be a sheep, and the Sadaqa is to be given to six poor persons

Ka'b bin Ujra bataate hain: Main Nabi (SAW) ke paas gaya aur unhone mujhse kaha, 'Qareeb aao.' To main unke qareeb gaya aur unhone kaha, 'Kya jooein tumhein pareshaan kar rahi hain?' Maine kaha, 'Haan.' Unhone kaha, '(Apna sar mundwaao aur) roza, Sadqa (khairaat), ya qurbaani ke zariye kaffara adaa karo.' (Ravi) Aiyub kehte hain, 'Roza teen din ka hona chaahiye, aur Nusuk (qurbaani) ek bakri ki honi chaahiye, aur Sadqa chhe gareeb logon ko diya jaana chaahiye.'
