1815. Narrated Ka'b bin 'Ujra رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ stood beside me at Al-Ḥudaibiya and the lice were falling from my head in great number. He asked me, "Have your lice troubled you?" I replied in the affirmative. He ordered me to get my head shaved. Ka'b added, "This Verse: '...And whosoever of you is ill, or has ailment in his scalp...' (V.2:196) was revealed regarding me." The Prophet ﷺ then ordered me either to observe Saum (fast) for three days, or to feed six poor persons with one Faraq (three Ṣā') (of dates), or to slaughter a sheep, (as sacrifice) whatever was available."

1815 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَيْفٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُجَاهِدٌ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَى، أَنَّ كَعْبَ بْنَ عُجْرَةَ، حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ: وَقَفَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَرَأْسِي يَتَهَافَتُ قَمْلًا، فَقَالَ: «يُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ؟»، قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: " فَاحْلِقْ رَأْسَكَ، أَوْ - قَالَ: احْلِقْ - "، قَالَ: فِيَّ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ {فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَرِيضًا أَوْ بِهِ أَذًى مِنْ رَأْسِهِ} [البقرة: 196] إِلَى آخِرِهَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «صُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، أَوْ تَصَدَّقْ بِفَرَقٍ بَيْنَ سِتَّةٍ، أَوْ انْسُكْ بِمَا تَيَسَّرَ»
