Summary
Malik transmits from Abd al-Karim al-Jazari, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Layla, from Kab ibn Ujra, that he was with the Messenger of God ﷺ in ihram, and lice troubled him in his head; he ordered him to shave his head and said: fast three days, or feed six needy people, two mudds each, or sacrifice a sheep; whichever you do is sufficient for you. The editor notes that Ibn Abd al-Barr thought Mujahid should be inserted between Abd al-Karim and Ibn Abi Layla. 1
