[2880] 82 - (...) Ka'b bin 'Ujrah [may Allāh be pleased with them] narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stood near him while lice were falling from his head, and he said: "Are these vermin bothering you?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Shave your head." He said: "It was concerning me that this verse was revealed: "...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] "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to me: 'Fast for three days or give a Faraq (three Ṣā') to be shared between six poor persons, or offer whatever you can afford as a sacrifice.'"

Arabic text

82 - (1201) وحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا سَيْفٌ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُجَاهِدًا، يَقُولُ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى، حَدَّثَنِي كَعْبُ بْنُ عُجْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ وَرَأْسُهُ يَتَهَافَتُ قَمْلًا، فَقَالَ: «أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ؟» قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «فَاحْلِقْ رَأْسَكَ» قَالَ: فَفِيَّ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: {فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَرِيضًا أَوْ بِهِ أَذًى مِنْ رَأْسِهِ فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ} [البقرة: 196] فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، أَوْ تَصَدَّقْ بِفَرَقٍ بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ، أَوْ انْسُكْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ»
