Ka'b bin 'Ujra (RA) reported that the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) happened to pass by him at Hudaibiya before entering Makkah in a state of Ihram and he (Ka'b) was kindling fire under the cooking pot and virmins were creeping on his (Kab's) face. Thereupon (the Holy Prophet) said: Do these vermins trouble you? He (Ka'b) said: Yes. The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Shave your head and give some quantity of food enough to feed six needy persons (faraq is equal to three sa's), or observe fast for three days or offer sacrifice of a sacrificial animal. Ibn Najih (one of the narrators) said: "Or sacrifice a goat."

Ka'b bin Ujra (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) happened to pass by him during the period of Hudaibiya. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said to him (Ka'b bin Ujra): Do these vermins trouble your head? He said: Yes. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Shave your head. Then sacrifice a goat or observe fasts for three days or give three sits of dates to feed six needy persons.

Abdullah bin Ma'qil said: I sat with Ka'b (RA) and he was in the mosque. I asked him about this verse: "Compensation in (the form of) fasting, or Sadaqa or sacrifice." Ka'b (RA) said: It was revealed in my case. There was some trouble in my head. I was taken to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and lice were creeping upon my face. Thereupon he said: I did not think that your trouble had become so unbearable as I see. Would you be able to afford (the sacrificing) of a goat? I (Ka'b) said: Then this verse was revealed: "Compensation (in the form of) fasting or alms or a sacrifice." He (the Holy Prophet) said: (It implies) fasting for three days, or feeding six needy persons, half sa' of food for every needy person. This verse was revealed particularly for me and (now) its application is general for all of you.

Ka'b bin Ujra (RA) reported that he went out with the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) in the state of Ihram, and his (Ka'b's) head and beard were infested with lice. This was conveyed to the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . He sent for him (Ka'b) and called a barber (who) shaved his head. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Is there any sacrificial animal with you? He (Kalb) said: I cannot afford it. He then commanded him to observe fasts for three days or feed six needy persons, one sa' for every two needy persons. And Allah the Exalted and Majestic revealed this (verse) particular with regard to him: "So whosoever among you is sick and has an ailment of the head.." ; then (its application) became general for the Muslims.

Ibn 'Abbas (RA) reported that the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) got himself cupped in the state of Ihram.

Ibn Buhaina reported that the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) got himself cupped in the middle of his head on his way to Makkah.

Nubaih bin Wabb reported: We went with Aban bin 'Uthman (in a state of Ihram). When we were at Malal the eyes of Umar bin Ubaidullah became sore and, when we reached Rauba' the pain grew intense. He (Nubaib bin Wahb) sent (one) to Aban bin 'Uthman to ask him (what to do). He sent him (the message) to apply aloes to them, for 'Uthman (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) applied aloes to the person whose eyes were sore and he was in the state of Ihram.

Nubaih b Wahb reported that the eyes of Umar bin Ubaidnllah bin Ma'mar were swollen, and he decided to use antimony. Aban bin 'Uthman forbade him to do so and commanded him to apply aloes on them, and reported on the authority of 'Uthman bin Affan that the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had done that.

Ibrahim bin 'Abdullah narrated on the authorrity of his father that there cropped up a difference of opinion between'Abdullah bin 'Abbas and al-Miswar bin Makhrama at a place (called) Abwa'.'Abdullah bin 'Abbas contended that a Muhrim (is permitted) to wash his head, whereas Miswar contended that a Muhrim is not (permitted) to wash his head. So Ibn Abbas (RA) sent me (the father of Ibrabim) to Abu Ayyub al- Ansiri to ask him about it. (So I went to him) and found him taking bath behind two poles covered by a cloth. I gave him salutation, whereupon be asked: Who is this? I said: I am 'Abdullah bin Hunain. 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas has sent me to you to find out how the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) washed his head in the state of Ihram. Abu Ayyub (RA) placed his hand on the cloth and lowered it (a little) till his head became visible to me; and he said to the man who was pouring water upon him to pour water. He poured water on his head. He then moved his head with the help of his hands and moved them (the hands) forward and backward and then said: This is how I saw him (the Messenger of Allah) ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) doing.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zaid bin Aslam with the same chain of transmitters that Abu Ayyub rubbed his whole head with his hands and then moved them forward and backward. Miswar said to Ibn 'Abbas (RA): I would never dispute with you (in future).
