Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ السَّخْتِيَانِيِّ، وَابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، وَحُمَيْدٍ الأَعْرَجِ، وَعَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَرَّ بِهِ وَهُوَ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ مَكَّةَ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ وَهُوَ يُوقِدُ تَحْتَ قِدْرٍ وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَهَافَتُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَتُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ هَذِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ احْلِقْ وَأَطْعِمْ فَرَقًا بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَالْفَرَقُ ثَلاَثَةُ آصُعٍ ‏"‏ أَوْ صُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوِ انْسُكْ نَسِيكَةً ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ ‏"‏ أَوِ اذْبَحْ شَاةً ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَغَيْرِهِمْ أَنَّ الْمُحْرِمَ إِذَا حَلَقَ رَأْسَهُ أَوْ لَبِسَ مِنَ الثِّيَابِ مَا لاَ يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَلْبَسَ فِي إِحْرَامِهِ أَوْ تَطَيَّبَ فَعَلَيْهِ الْكَفَّارَةُ بِمِثْلِ مَا رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏.‏

Ibn Abi Umar narrated to us: Sufyan ibn Uyaynah narrated to us, from Ayyub al-Sakhtiyani, Ibn Abi Najih, Humayd al-A'raj, and Abd al-Karim, from Mujahid, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Layla, from Ka'b ibn Ujrah, that the Prophet passed by him at al-Hudaybiyyah, before entering Mecca, while he was in a state of ihram. He was tending a pot, and lice were falling onto his face. The Prophet asked, ‘Are these pests troubling you?’ He replied, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘Shave your head and feed a faraq of food to six poor people.’ A faraq is three sa's. ‘Or fast for three days, or offer a sacrifice.’ Ibn Abi Najih added, ‘Or slaughter a sheep.’

Abu Isa said: This is a hasan sahih hadith. Some of the Prophet's Companions and others acted on it: if a person in ihram shaves his head, wears clothing he should not wear during ihram, or applies perfume, then he must make expiation in one of the ways reported from the Prophet.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • A faraq is a traditional measure equal here to three sa's; the report specifies feeding six needy people.
