حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سَيْفٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُجَاهِدًا، يَقُولُ: حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي كَعْبُ بْنُ عُجْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ، قَالَ: وَرَأْسُهُ يَتَهَافَتُ قَمْلًا، قَالَ: " أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ "؟ قَالَ:، ، قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: " فَاحْلِقْ رَأْسَكَ " قَالَ: فِيَّ نَزَلَتْ {فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَرِيضًا، أَوْ بِهِ أَذًى مِنْ رَأْسِهِ، فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ، أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ، أَوْ نُسُكٍ} [البقرة: ١٩٦] قَالَ: فَأَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: " صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، أَوْ تَصَدَّقْ بِفِرْقٍ بَيْنَ سِتَّةٍ، أَوْ بِنُسُكٍ مَا تَيَسَّرَ " (١)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Ka'b bin Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that we were in the state of Ihram at Hudaybiyyah with the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). The polytheists had surrounded us (not allowing us to enter the Haram). My hair had grown very long, and during this time, lice began to fall from my head onto my face. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) passed by me and said, "Are the lice troubling you?" I replied, "Yes!" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) ordered, "Shave your head." On this occasion, this verse was revealed: "And whoever among you is ill or has an ailment of the head (necessitating shaving), he should offer a ransom by fasting, or charity, or sacrifice." So the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) ordered me, "Fast for three days, or give charity of half a sa' of food to six needy people, or offer a sacrifice—whichever is easiest for you."
