Hadith 6464
I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said to me, "Come near." So I went near to him and he said, "Are your
lice troubling you?" I replied, "Yes." He said, "(Shave your head and) make expiation in the form of
fasting, Sadaqa (giving in charity), or offering a sacrifice." (The sub-narrator) Aiyub said, "Fasting
should be for three days, and the Nusuk (sacrifice) is to be a sheep, and the Sadaqa is to be given to
six poor persons."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 84, Hadith 1

We went out in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on the day of (the battle of) Khaibar, and we did not
get any gold or silver as war booty, but we got property in the form of things and clothes. Then a man
called Rifa`a bin Zaid, from the tribe of Bani Ad-Dubaib, presented a slave named Mid`am to Allah's
Apostle. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) headed towards the valley of Al-Qura, and when he was in the valley of Al-
Qura an arrow was thrown by an unidentified person, struck and killed Mid`am who was making a
she-camel of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) kneel down. The people said, "Congratulations to him (the slave) for
gaining Paradise." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "No! By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, for the sheet which
he stole from the war booty before its distribution on the day of Khaibar, is now burning over him."
When the people heard that, a man brought one or two Shiraks (leather straps of shoes) to the Prophet.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A Shirak of fire, or two Shiraks of fire." Sahih al-Bukhari Book 83, Hadith 84

A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "I am ruined!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What is the matter with you?"
He said, "I had sexual relation with my wife (while I was fasting) in Ramadan." The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"Have you got enough to manumit a slave?" He said, "No." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Can you fast for two
successive months?" The man said, "No." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Can you feed sixty poor persons?" The
man said, "No." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, "Sit down," and he sat down. Afterwards an 'Irq, i.e., a
big basket containing dates was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) and the Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, "Take this and
give it in charity." The man said, "To poorer people than we?" On that, the Prophet (ﷺ) smiled till his
premolar teeth became visible, and then told him, "Feed your family with it." (See Hadith No. 157,
Vol 3) Sahih al-Bukhari Book 84, Hadith 2
