حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْأَصْبَهَانِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَعْقِلٍ قَالَ قَعَدْتُ إِلَى كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ وَهُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ
قَعَدْتُ إِلَى كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ وَهُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ: فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ قَالَ: فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ: نَزَلَتْ فِيَّ، كَانَ بِي أَذًى مِنْ رَأْسِي، فَحُمِلْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَنَاثَرُ عَلَى وَجْهِي، فَقَالَ: مَا كُنْتُ أَرَى أَنَّ الْجَهْدَ بَلَغَ بِكَ مَا أَرَى، أَتَجِدُ شَاةً ؟ فَقُلْتُ: لَا - فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ، قَالَ: صَوْمُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ، أَوْ إِطْعَامُ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ، نِصْفَ صَاعٍ نِصْفَ صَاعٍ طَعَامٍ لِكُلِّ مِسْكِينٍ. قَالَ: فَنَزَلَتْ فِيَّ خَاصَّةً، وَهِيَ لَكُمْ عَامَّةً.

✧ I sat with Ka'b b. Ujra while he was in the mosque, and I asked him about this verse: 'then a ransom of fasting or charity or sacrifice.' He said: Ka'b said: It was revealed concerning me. I had an ailment in my head, and I was carried to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while lice were falling on my face. He said: 'I did not think that hardship had reached you to the extent I see. Can you find a sheep?' I said: 'No.' Then this verse was revealed: 'then a ransom of fasting or charity or sacrifice.' He said: 'Fasting three days, or feeding six poor persons, half a sa' each of food for each poor person.' He said: It was revealed specifically concerning me, but it is general for you all.
