حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، وَالثَّوْرِيُّ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَرَّ بِهِ وَهُوَ يُوقِدُ تَحْتَ بُرْمَةٍ أَوْ قَالَ: تَحْتَ قِدْرٍ، وَالْقَمْلُ تَتَسَاقَطُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَذِهِ ؟ فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَنَزَلَتْ: فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ. فَأَمَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَهُمْ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ، وَلَمْ يُبَيِّنْ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ يَحْلِقُونَ بِهَا وَهُمْ عَلَى طَمَعٍ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوا مَكَّةَ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - الْفِدْيَةَ، فَأَمَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يَحْلِقَ وَيَصُومَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، أَوْ يُطْعِمَ فَرَقًا بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ، أَوْ يَذْبَحَ شَاةً.

✧ The Prophet ﷺ passed by him while he was lighting a fire under a clay pot – or he said: under a cooking pot – and lice were falling on his face. The Prophet ﷺ said to him, “Are these troubling you?” He said, “Yes, O Messenger of God.” Then was revealed: “a ransom of fasting or charity or ritual sacrifice.” The Prophet ﷺ commanded him while they were at al-Hudaybiyyah, and he had not made clear to them that they would shave their heads there, for they were still hoping to enter Makkah. Then God, Mighty and Majestic, sent down the ransom, and the Prophet ﷺ commanded him to shave and fast three days, or feed a faraq among six poor people, or sacrifice a sheep.

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.
