English translation
4159. Narrated Ka'b bin 'Ujra that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ saw him with the lice falling (from his head) on his face. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Are your lice troubling you?" Ka'b said, "Yes." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ thus ordered him to shave his head while he was at Al-Hudaibiya. Up to then there was no indication that all of them would finish their state of Iḥrām and they hoped that they would enter Makkah. Then the order of Al-Fidya was revealed, so Allāh's Messenger ﷺ ordered Ka'b to feed six poor persons with one Faraq of food or slaughter a sheep or observe Saum (fast) for three days.(1)
