4191. Narrated Ka'b bin 'Ujra رضي الله عنه: We were in the company of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ at Al-Hudaibiya in the state of Iḥrām and Al-Mushrikūn did not allow us to proceed (to the Ka'bah). I had thick hair and lice started falling on my face. The Prophet ﷺ passed by me and said, "Are the lice of your head troubling you?" I replied, "Yes." (The sub-narrator added, "Then the following Divine Verse was revealed: '...And whosoever of you is ill or has an ailment in his scalp (necessitating shaving) he must pay a Fidya (ransom) of either observing Saum (fasts) (three days) or giving Sadaqa (charity - feeding six poor) or offering sacrifice (one sheep)...'" (V.2:196)

Arabic text

4191 - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَنَحْنُ مُحْرِمُونَ، وَقَدْ حَصَرَنَا المُشْرِكُونَ، قَالَ: وَكَانَتْ لِي وَفْرَةٌ، فَجَعَلَتِ الهَوَامُّ تَسَّاقَطُ عَلَى وَجْهِي، فَمَرَّ بِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ؟» قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: وَأُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ: {فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَرِيضًا أَوْ بِهِ أَذًى مِنْ رَأْسِهِ فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ} [البقرة: 196]
