[2884] 86 - (...) Ka'b bin 'Ujrah [may Allâh be pleased with her] narrated that he went out with the Prophet ﷺ in Ihrâm, and his head and beard were infested with lice. News of that reached the Prophet ﷺ and he sent for him and called the barber to shave his head, then he said to him: "Do you have an animal to sacrifice?" He said: "I cannot afford that." So he told him to fast for three days, or to feed six poor persons, giving one Ṣâ' to each two poor persons. Then Allâh revealed the verse "And whosoever of you is ill or has an ailment in his scalp (necessitating shaving)"[1] specifically about him, then it applied to all the Muslims in general.

Arabic text

86 - (1201) وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْأَصْبَهَانِيِّ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَعْقِلٍ، حَدَّثَنِي كَعْبُ بْنُ عُجْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُحْرِمًا، فَقَمِلَ رَأْسُهُ وَلِحْيَتُهُ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ فَدَعَا الْحَلَّاقَ، فَحَلَقَ رَأْسَهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ: «هَلْ عِنْدَكَ نُسُكٌ؟» قَالَ: مَا أَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ، «فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَصُومَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، أَوْ يُطْعِمَ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ، لِكُلِّ مِسْكِينَيْنِ صَاعٌ»، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِيهِ خَاصَّةً: {فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَرِيضًا أَوْ بِهِ أَذًى مِنْ رَأْسِهِ} [البقرة: 196] ثُمَّ كَانَتْ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ عَامَّةً
