حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُجَاهِدًا ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، عَنْ كَعْبٍ، هُوَ ابْنُ عُجْرَةَ قَالَ أَتَى عَلَىَّ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم زَمَنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ، وَأَنَا أُوقِدُ تَحْتَ بُرْمَةٍ، وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَنَاثَرُ عَنْ رَأْسِي فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَاحْلِقْ وَصُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةً، أَوِ انْسُكْ نَسِيكَةً ‏" ‏‏.‏ قَالَ أَيُّوبُ لاَ أَدْرِي بِأَيَّتِهِنَّ بَدَأَ ‏.‏

He said, "Shave your head and fast for three days or feed six poor persons or slaughter a sheep as a sacrifice:"
