باب 16

(16) باب قَوْلِ الْمَرِيضِ إِنِّي وَجِعٌ أَوْ وَارَأْسَاهْ، أَوِ اشْتَدَّ بِي الْوَجَعُ

(16) Chapter: To say "I am sick," or "Oh, my head!" or "My ailment has been aggravated"
26
حَدَّثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، وَأَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه. مَرَّ بِيَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَنَا أُوقِدُ تَحْتَ الْقِدْرِ فَقَالَ " أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ ". قُلْتُ نَعَمْ. فَدَعَا الْحَلاَّقَ فَحَلَقَهُ ثُمَّ أَمَرَنِي بِالْفِدَاءِ.

Narrated Ka`b bin 'Ujara:
The Prophet (ﷺ) passed by me while I was kindling a fire under a (cooking) pot. He said, "Do the lice of your head trouble you?" I said, "Yes." So he called a barber to shave my head and ordered me to make expiation for that."
