Thanks again for every one replied to me.
I tired all what was suggested, yet nothing is working.
I want to add something, when I add quotes on the password and run the
command and it worked but when nagios parse the config file it didn't work,
showing on the web interface "HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized"
Changing the password will be my last option cause there are hundreds of
devices with password having the "$" character
Thanks all for your help

In checkcommands.cfg, try wrapping ARG3 in single quotes on the
command_line. From experience, you are better off changing the
password to not use a $ character.
# 'check_httpp' command definition
define command{
command_name check_httpp
command_line $USER1$/check_http -p $ARG1$ -I $ARG2$ -t
120 -a '$ARG3$'
