حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَيْفٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي مُجَاهِدٌ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، أَنَّ كَعْبَ بْنَ عُجْرَةَ حَدَّثَهُ ، قَالَ : "

وَقَفَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَرَأْسِي يَتَهَافَتُ قَمْلًا ، فَقَالَ : يُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ ؟ قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : فَاحْلِقْ رَأْسَكَ ، أَوْ قَالَ : احْلِقْ ، قَالَ : فِيَّ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ : فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَرِيضًا أَوْ بِهِ أَذًى مِنْ رَأْسِهِ سورة البقرة آية 196 ، إِلَى آخِرِهَا ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ ، أَوْ تَصَدَّقْ بِفَرَقٍ بَيْنَ سِتَّةٍ ، أَوِ انْسُكْ بِمَا تَيَسَّرَ
