أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَصْبَهَانِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَعْقِلٍ قَالَ
قَعَدْتُ إِلَى كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ} فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ فِيَّ نَزَلَتْ كَانَ بِي أَذًى مِنْ رَأْسِي فَحُمِلْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَنَاثَرُ عَلَى وَجْهِي فَقَالَ ﷺ «مَا كِدْتُ أَرَى الْجَهْدَ بَلَغَ مِنْكَ مَا أَرَى أَتَجِدُ شَاةً» قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ { «فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ} فَالصَّوْمُ ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ وَالصَّدَقَةُ عَلَى كُلِّ مِسْكِينٍ نِصْفُ صَاعٍ مِنْ طَعَامٍ وَالنُّسُكُ شَاةٌ»

✧ I sat with Ka‘b b. ‘Ujrah in the mosque and asked him about this verse: {A ransom of fasting, or charity, or sacrifice}. Ka‘b said: It was revealed concerning me. I had an affliction in my head, and I was carried to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while lice were falling on my face. He ﷺ said, “I never thought that hardship had reached you to the extent I see. Can you find a sheep?” I said, “No.” He said: Then this verse was revealed: {A ransom of fasting, or charity, or sacrifice}. The fast is three days, the charity is half a sa‘ of food for each poor person, and the sacrifice is a sheep.”
