[2879] 81 - (...) It was narrated that Ka'b bin 'Ujrah [may Allāh be pleased with them] said: "This verse was revealed concerning me: "...And whosoever of you is ill or has an ailment in his scalp (necessitating shaving), he must pay a Fidyah (ransom) of either observing Sawm (fasts) (three days) or giving Sadaqah or offering sacrifice (one sheep)...[1] I came to him (ﷺ) and he said: 'Come closer.' I came closer and he said: 'Come closer,' so I came closer. Then he ﷺ said: 'Are these vermin bothering you?'" (one of the narrators) Ibn 'Awn said: "I think he said: 'Yes.'" - He said: "And he commanded me to offer a Fidyah by fasting, or giving charity, or offering a sacrifice, whichever was easiest."

81 - (1201) وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: فِيَّ أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: {فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَرِيضًا أَوْ بِهِ أَذًى مِنْ رَأْسِهِ فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ} [البقرة: 196] قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: «ادْنُهْ» فَدَنَوْتُ، فَقَالَ: ادْنُهْ فَدَنَوْتُ، فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ؟» - قَالَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ: وَأَظُنُّهُ -، قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «فَأَمَرَنِي بِفِدْيَةٍ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ، مَا تَيَسَّرَ»
