Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ، قَالَ أَمَرَنِي النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ حِينَ آذَانِي الْقَمْلُ أَنْ أَحْلِقَ رَأْسِي وَأَصُومَ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أُطْعِمَ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ وَقَدْ عَلِمَ أَنْ لَيْسَ عِنْدِي مَا أَنْسُكُ ‏.‏

Translation

ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Ibrāhīm narrated to us: ʿAbd Allāh ibn Nāfiʿ narrated to us, from Usāmah ibn Zayd, from Muḥammad ibn Kaʿb, from Kaʿb ibn ʿUjrah, who said: When lice were troubling me, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed me to shave my head and either fast three days or feed six needy people. He knew that I did not have the means to offer a sacrificial animal.
