حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ قَالَ
كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ، وَنَحْنُ مُحْرِمُونَ، وَقَدْ حَصَرَنَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ، وَكَانَتْ لِي وَفْرَةٌ، فَجَعَلَتِ الْهَوَامُّ تَسَاقَطُ عَلَى وَجْهِي، فَمَرَّ بِيَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ ؟ قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ. فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَحْلِقَ. قَالَ: وَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَرِيضًا أَوْ بِهِ أَذًى مِنْ رَأْسِهِ فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ.

✧ We were with the Messenger of God ﷺ at al-Ḥudaybiyah, and we were in a state of iḥrām, and the polytheists had besieged us. I had a thick head of hair, and vermin began falling onto my face. The Prophet ﷺ passed by me and said: ‘Do the vermin of your head bother you?’ I said: ‘Yes.’ So he ordered him to shave. He said: And this verse was revealed: ‘And whoever among you is ill or has an ailment of the head, then a ransom of fasting or charity or sacrifice’ [2:196].

خبر كعب بن عجرة الصحيح فيما رواه ابن أبي ليلى والباقون روايتهم مضطربة موهومة فوجب ترك ما اضطرب فيه والرجوع إلى رواية عبد الرحمن التي لم تضطرب
machine translationThe sound report of Kaʿb b. ʿUjrah is what Ibn Abī Laylā narrated, while the narrations of the others are unsettled (muḍṭarib) and mistaken. It is therefore obligatory to abandon what is unsettled in it and to return to the narration of ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, which is not unsettled.
