We were in the company of Messenger of Allah ﷺ at Al-Hudaibiya in the state of Ihram and the pagans did not allow us to proceed (to the Kaʿba). I had thick hair and lice started falling on my face. The Prophet ﷺ passed by me and said, "Are the lice of your head troubling you?" I replied, Yes." (The sub-narrator added, "Then the following Divine Verse was revealed:-- "And if anyone of you is ill or has an ailment in his scalp, (necessitating shaving) must pay a ransom (Fida) of either fasting or feeding the poor, Or offering a sacrifice." (2.196) (Using translation from Bukhārī 4191)  

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَنَحْنُ مُحْرِمُونَ وَقَدْ حَصَرَنَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ وَكَانَتْ لِي وَفْرَةٌ فَجَعَلَتِ الْهَوَامُّ تَسَّاقَطُ عَلَى وَجْهِي فَمَرَّ بِي 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} [البقرة 196]  

[Machine] "That every strand of hair on my head has a lice, from its root to its tip. So the Prophet ﷺ commanded me to shave it off. And then the verse was revealed: 'Feed six poor people, each one of them with half a sa' of dates.'"  

أَنَّ كُلَّ شَعْرَةٍ مِنْ رَأْسِي فِيهَا الْقَمْلُ مِنْ أَصْلِهَا إِلَى فَرْعِهَا فَأَمَرَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حِينَ رَأَى ذَلِكَ قَالَ احْلِقْ وَنَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ قَالَ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ ثَلَاثَةَ آصُعٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ  

AbuThumamah al-Hannat said that Ka'b ibn Ujrah met him while he was going to the mosque; one of the two (companions) met his companion (on his way to the mosque) And he met crossing the fingers of my both hands. He prohibited me to do so, and said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has said: If any of you performs ablution, and performs his ablution perfectly, and then goes out intending for the mosque, he should not cross the fingers of his hand because he is already in prayer. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 562)   

قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَأَحْسَنَ وُضُوءَهُ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ عَامِدًا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَلَا يُشَبِّكْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَإِنَّهُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ  

I said: “O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, how do we send blessings upon you?” He said: ʿSay: O Allah, send Your salah (grace, honour and mercy) upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent Your salah upon the family of Ibrahim, You are indeed Praiseworthy, Most Glorious. And send Your blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You sent Your blessings upon the family of Ibrahim, You are indeed Praiseworthy, Most Glorious.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 1396)   

لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ عَلِمْنَا السَّلَامَ عَلَيْكَ فَكَيْفَ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَيْكَ؟ قَالَ قُولُوا اللهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَىإِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ اللهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ  

“I heard Ibn Abi Laila say: ‘Ka’b bin ‘Ujrah met me and said: “Shall I not give you a gift? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us and we said: ‘We know what it means to send greetings on you, but what does it mean to send peace and blessings upon you?’ He said: ‘Say: Allahumma salli ‘ala Muhammadin wa ‘ala ali Muhammadin, kama sallayta ‘ala Ibrahima, innaka Hamidun Majid; Allahumma barik ‘ala Muhammadin wa ‘ala ali Muhammadin, kama barakta ‘ala Ibrahima, innaka Hamidun Majid (O Allah, send your grace, honour and mercy upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent Your grace, honour and mercy upon Ibrahim, You are indeed Praiseworthy, Most Glorious. O Allah, send Your blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You sent Your blessings upon Ibrahim, You are indeed Praiseworthy, Most Glorious).’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 904)  

أَلَا أُهْدِي لَكَ هَدِيَّةً؟ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ عَلِمْنَا أَوْ عَرَفْنَا كَيْفَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ فَكَيْفَ الصَّلَاةُ؟ قَالَ قُولُوا اللهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ اللهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ  

That he was with the Messenger of Allah in Ihram and he suffered an infestation of head lice. The Messenger of Allah commanded him to shave his head and told him: "Fast for three days, or fed six poor persons two Mudds earch, or sacrifice a sheep. Whichever one of these you do will be sufficient for you.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2851)   

أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَذَاهُ الْقَمْلُ فِي رَأْسِهِ فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَحْلِقَ رَأْسَهُ وَقَالَ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ مُدَّيْنِ مُدَّيْنِ لِكُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ أَوْ انْسُكْ بِشَاةٍ أَيَّ ذَلِكَ فَعَلْتَ أَجْزَأَكَ  

from Ka'b bin 'Ujrah who said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me while I was lighting a fire under a pot, and lice were falling on my face, or on my eye-brows. He said: 'Are your lice bothering you?'" [He said:] "I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then shave your head and offer a sacrifice, or fast three days, or feed six needy people.'" Ayyub said: "I do not know which of them he started with." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2974)  

أَتَى عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا أُوقِدُ تَحْتَ قِدْرٍ وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَنَاثَرُ عَلَى وَجْهِي أَوْ قَالَ حَاجِبَيَّ فَقَالَ أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاحْلِقْهُ وَصُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ أَوْ انْسُكْ نَسِيكَةً قَالَ أَيُّوبُ لَا أَدْرِي بِأَيَّتِهِنَّ بَدَأَ  

[Machine] Ka'b ibn 'Ujrah met me and narrated the Hadith.  

لَقِيَنِي كَعْبُ بْنُ عُجْرَةَ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ  

“I sat with Ka’b bin ‘Ujrah in the mosque and asked him about this Verse: ‘He must pay a compensation of either fasting (three days) or giving charity (feeding six poor persons) or offering sacrifice (one sheep).’ [2:196] Ka’b said: it was revealed concerning me. I had trouble with my head, so I was carried to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, with lice crawling on my face. He said: ‘I did not think that you were suffering as much as I see. Do you have a sheep?’ I said: ‘No.’ Then this Verse was revealed: “He must pay a Fidyah (ransom) of either fasting (three days) or giving Sadaqah (charity – feeding six poor persons) or offering sacrifice (one sheep).” [2:196] He said: ‘Fasting is three days, charity is to be given to six poor persons, giving each one half of a Sa’ of food, and the sacrifice is a sheep.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3079)   

عَنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ} [البقرة 196] قَالَ فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ نَزَلَتْ فِيَّ كَانَ بِي أَذًى مِنْرَأْسِي 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} [البقرة 196] قَالَ صَوْمُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ إِطْعَامُ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ نِصْفَ صَاعِ نِصْفَ صَاعِ طَعَامٍ لِكُلِّ مِسْكِينٍ قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ فِيَّ خَاصَّةً وَهِيَ لَكُمْ عَامَّةً  

[Machine] I heard Abdullah bin Maqil say, "I sat with Ka'b in this mosque, and he mentioned its significance."  

سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مَعْقِلٍ يَقُولُ قَعَدْتُ إِلَى كَعْبٍ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ  

[Machine] And he said, "Feed six poor people, and each poor person should be given half a saa' of food."  

وَقَالَ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ كُلَّ مِسْكِينٍ نِصْفَ صَاعٍ مِنْ طَعَامٍ  

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said: A man should not perform ablution in his house and then come out only intending to pray, except that he will be in a state of prayer until he completes his prayer. And none of you should separate his fingers during the prayer."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَتَطَهَّرُ رَجُلٌ فِي بَيْتِهِ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ لَا يُرِيدُ إِلَّا الصَّلَاةَ إِلَّا كَانَ فِي صَلَاةٍ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ صَلَاتَهُ وَلَا يُخَالِفْ أَحَدُكُمْ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِ يَدَيْهِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ saw me and noticed lice falling from my face. He asked, "Do your lice bother you?" I replied, "Yes." He then commanded me to shave my head. We were in Hudaybiyyah at the time, and he did not inform them that they were performing the Umrah (lesser pilgrimage). They had expected to enter Mecca. Allah then revealed the Fidyah (compensation) for them, and the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ commanded me to either feed a group of six needy people, or fast for three days, or sacrifice a sheep.  

رَآنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَمْلِي يَتَسَاقَطُ عَلَى وَجْهِي فَقَالَ أَتُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ هَذِهِ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَحْلِقَ وَهُمْ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَلَمْ يُبَيِّنْ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ يَحْلِقُونَ بِهَا وَهُمْ عَلَى طَمَعٍ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوا مَكَّةَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ الْفِدْيَةَ فَأَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ أُطْعِمَ فِرْقًا بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ أَوْ أَصُومَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَذْبَحَ شَاةً  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "When you perform ablution and perfect your ablution, then you go to the mosque and you are in prayer, do not intertwine your fingers."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا تَوَضَّأْتَ فَأَحْسَنْتَ وُضُوءَكَ ثُمَّ عَمَدْتَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَنْتَ فِي صَلَاةٍ فَلَا تُشَبِّكْبَيْنَ أَصَابِعِكَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When you perform ablution and perfect your ablution, then you go purposely to the mosque, do not intertwine your fingers together." He said, "I see people doing that." He said, "Verily, you are in prayer."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا تَوَضَّأْتَ فَأَحْسَنْتَ وُضُوءَكَ ثُمَّ خَرَجْتَ عَامِدًا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَلَا تُشَبِّكَنَّ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِكَ قَالَ قُرَّانُ أُرَاهُ قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ فِي صَلَاةٍ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ ordered Ka'b to shave his head because of lice. He said to him, "Fast for three days or feed six poor people, one mudd each."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَمَرَ كَعْبًا أَنْ يَحْلِقَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الْقَمْلِ قَالَ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ مُدَّيْنِ مُدَّيْنِ أَوْ اذْبَحْ  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me during the time of Hudaybiyah while I had a lot of hair. He said, 'Does it bother you if I cut your hair?' I replied, 'Of course not.' He said, 'Then shave it off, sacrifice a sheep, fast for three days, or give charity equivalent to three sa' of dates to six poor people.'"  

أَتَى عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ زَمَنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَأَنَا كَثِيرُ الشَّعْرِ فَقَالَ كَأَنَّ هَوَامَّ رَأْسِكَ تُؤْذِيكَ؟ فَقُلْتُ أَجَلْ قَالَ فَاحْلِقْهُ وَاذْبَحْ شَاةً أَوْ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ تَصَدَّقْ بِثَلَاثَةِ آصُعٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned a trial and emphasized its seriousness. Then a man with disheveled hair passed by, and he said, "This is the truth today," and I quickly followed him or said, "I caught up with him," and I held his thumb and said, "Is this you, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "No, that is Uthman ibn Affan."  

ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِتْنَةً فَقَرَّبَهَا وَعَظَّمَهَا قَالَ ثُمَّ مَرَّ رَجُلٌ مُتَقَنِّعٌ فِي مِلْحَفَةٍ فَقَالَ هَذَا يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى الْحَقِّ فَانْطَلَقْتُ مُسْرِعًا أَوْ قَالَ مُحْضِرًا فَأَخَذْتُ بِضَبْعَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ هَذَا فَإِذَا هُوَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ commanded him to fast for three days or feed six poor people or slaughter a sheep.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَصُومَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ يُطْعِمَ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ أَوْ يَذْبَحَ شَاةً  

[Machine] I heard Ka'b ibn 'Ujrah say in this mosque, meaning the mosque of al-Kufah, that this verse was revealed: "We set out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for 'Umrah, and lice fell on my head, beard, eyebrows, and mustache. The Prophet ﷺ was informed of this and he sent for me and called me. When he saw me, he said, 'You have been afflicted with a trial and we do not feel it. So call for the cupper to treat you.' When he came, the Prophet ﷺ ordered him to shave my head. He asked me, 'Are you capable of performing the rituals?' I replied, 'No.' He said, 'Then fast for three days or feed six poor people, giving each one half a saa' of dates."  

سَمِعْتُ كَعْبَ بْنَ عُجْرَةَ يَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ يَعْنِي مَسْجِدَ الْكُوفَةِ فِيَّ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مُهِلِّينَ بِعُمْرَةٍ فَوَقَعَ الْقَمْلُ فِي رَأْسِي وَلِحْيَتِي وَحَاجِبَيَّ وَشَارِبِي فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ فَدَعَانِي فَلَمَّا رَآنِي قَالَ لَقَدْ أَصَابَكَ بَلَاءٌ وَنَحْنُ لَا نَشْعُرُ ادْعُوا لِي الْحَجَّامَ فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُ أَمَرَهُ فَحَلَقَنِي قَالَ أَتَقْدِرُ عَلَى نُسُكٍ؟ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَصُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ لِكُلِّ مِسْكِينٍ نِصْفُ صَاعٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ  

[Machine] It landed on me.  

نَزَلَتْ فِيَّ  

[Machine] This is the Hadith from Ka'b ibn 'Ujrah.  

عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ  

[Machine] He said, "Feed three handfuls of dates to six poor people."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَطْعِمِ الْمَسَاكِينَ ثَلَاثَةَ آصُعٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ  

[Machine] The son of Abu Adiy said, "Indeed, Kaab performed the Hajj with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and they mentioned three double handfuls of dates shared between six poor people."  

ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ إِنَّ كَعْبًا أَحْرَمَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَاهُ وَقَالَا ثَلَاثَةُ آصُعٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ ordered Ka'b, when he shaved his head, to either slaughter a sheep, fast for three days, or feed a group of six poor individuals.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَمَرَ كَعْبًا حِينَ حَلَقَ رَأْسَهُ أَنْ يَذْبَحَ شَاةً أَوْ يَصُومَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ يُطْعِمَ فِرْقًا بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ  

"The Messenger of Allah came out to us, and there were nine of us. He said; 'After me there will be rulers, whoever believes in their lies and helps them in their wrongdoing is not of me, and I am not of him, and he will not come to me at the Cistern. Whoever does not believe their lies and does not help them in their wrongdoing, he is of me, and I am of hi, and he will come to me at the Cistern."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4207)   

خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَوْ دَخَلَ وَنَحْنُ تِسْعَةٌ وَبَيْنَنَا وِسَادَةٌ مِنْ أَدَمٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ بَعْدِي أُمَرَاءُ يَكْذِبُونَ وَيَظْلِمُونَ فَمَنْ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَصَدَّقَهُمْ بِكِذْبِهِمْ وَأَعَانَهُمْ عَلَى ظُلْمِهِمْ فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي وَلَسْتُ مِنْهُ وَلَيْسَ بِوَارِدٍ عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُصَدِّقْهُمْ بِكَذِبِهِمْ وَيُعِنْهُمْ عَلَى ظُلْمِهِمْ فَهُوَ مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْهُ وَهُوَ وَارِدٌ عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ  

I said: “O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, how do we send blessings upon you?” He said: ʿSay: O Allah, send Your salah (grace, honour and mercy) upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent Your salah upon the family of Ibrahim, You are indeed Praiseworthy, Most Glorious. And send Your blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You sent Your blessings upon the family of Ibrahim, You are indeed Praiseworthy, Most Glorious.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 1396)   

أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا قَدْ عَلِمْنَا السَّلَامَ عَلَيْكَ فَكَيْفَ الصَّلَاةُ؟ قَالَ فَعَلَّمَهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ اللهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ وَبَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ stopped at Al-Hudaybiyah, and as he did, lice were crawling on his head. He asked, "Do your lice harm you?" I replied, "Yes." He then said, "Shave your head." In the Quran, Allah said, "And whoever among you is ill or has an ailment of the head, then a ransom of fasting [three days], or charity or sacrifice [is required]" (2:196). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded me to observe fasting for three days, or give charity, or make a sacrifice according to my capability.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ قَالَ وَرَأْسُهُ يَتَهَافَتُ قَمْلًا قَالَ أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ ؟ قَالَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاحْلِقْ رَأْسَكَ قَالَ فِيَّ نَزَلَتْ {فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَرِيضًا أَوْ بِهِ أَذًى مِنْ رَأْسِهِ فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ} [البقرة 196] قَالَ فَأَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ تَصَدَّقْ بِفِرْقٍ بَيْنَ سِتَّةٍ أَوْ بِنُسُكٍ مَا تَيَسَّرَ  

[Machine] I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he mentioned a trial and drew it near. Then a man passed by wearing a turban, and he said, "This person today is upon guidance." He (the Prophet) said, "So I followed him until I held onto his two fingers, and I turned his face towards me and revealed his head, and I said, 'Is this you, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'Yes, indeed, this is 'Uthman ibn 'Affan.'"  

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ فِتْنَةً فَقَرَّبَهَا فَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ مُتَقَنِّعٌ فَقَالَ هَذَا يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى الْهُدَى قَالَ فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ حَتَّى أَخَذْتُ بِضَبْعَيْهِ فَحَوَّلْتُ وَجْهَهُ إِلَيْهِ وَكَشَفْتُ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ فَقُلْتُ هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَإِذَا هُوَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the mosque and found me with my fingers interlaced. He said to me, "O Ka'b, when you are inside the mosque, do not interlace your fingers, as it signifies that you are in prayer, and therefore, you should not wait for prayer."  

دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْمَسْجِدَ وَقَدْ شَبَّكْتُ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِي فَقَالَ لِي يَا كَعْبُ إِذَا كُنْتَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَلَا تُشَبِّكْ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِكَ فَأَنْتَ فِي صَلَاةٍ مَا انْتَظَرْتَ الصَّلَاةَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered him to shave his head and perform a sacrifice or fast for three days or feed a group of six poor people.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَحْلِقَ رَأْسَهُ وَيَنْسُكَ نُسُكًا أَوْ يَصُومَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ يُطْعِمَ فِرْقًا بَيْنَ سِتَّةِمَسَاكِينَ  

[Machine] "While I was sitting in the mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, leaning against its wall, there were seven individuals with me. Four of them were from our followers and three were from our Arab brethren. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us to lead the Dhuhr prayer. When he finished praying, he asked us why we were sitting there. We replied, 'O Messenger of Allah, we are waiting for the prayer.' He pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked, 'Do you know what your Lord says?' We replied, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said, 'Indeed, your Lord says that whoever offers the prayer at its prescribed time and observes its obligations without neglecting any part, they will have a covenant with me to enter Paradise. And whoever does not offer the prayer at its prescribed time and neglects it, they have no covenant with me. If I will, I will punish them, and if I will, I will forgive them.'"  

بَيْنَمَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ فِي مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مُسْنِدِي ظُهُورِنَا إِلَى قِبْلَةِ مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ سَبْعَةُ رَهْطٍ أَرْبَعَةٌ مِنْ مَوَالِينَا وَثَلَاثَةٌ مِنْ عَرَبِنَا إِذْ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الظُّهْرِ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ مَا يُجْلِسُكُمْ هَاهُنَا قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ نَنْتَظِرُ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ فَأَرَمَّ قَلِيلًا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ أَتَدْرُونَ مَا يَقُولُ رَبُّكُمْ ﷻ قَالَ قُلْنَا اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ ﷻ يَقُولُ مَنْ صَلَّى الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا وَحَافَظَ عَلَيْهَا وَلَمْ يُضَيِّعْهَا اسْتِخْفَافًا بِحَقِّهَا فَلَهُ عَلَيَّ عَهْدٌ أَنْ أُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُصَلِّهَا لِوَقْتِهَا وَلَمْ يُحَافِظْ عَلَيْهَا وَضَيَّعَهَا اسْتِخْفَافًا بِحَقِّهَا فَلَا عَهْدَلَهُ إِنْ شِئْتُ عَذَّبْتُهُ وَإِنْ شِئْتُ غَفَرْتُ لَهُ  

[Machine] When the verse "Indeed, Allah confers blessings upon the Prophet and His angels" [33:56] was revealed, they said, "How should we send blessings upon you, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Say: 'O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad as You sent blessings upon Ibrahim and upon the family of Ibrahim. Verily, You are full of praise and majesty. And send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad as You blessed Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. Verily, You are full of praise and majesty." He (Yazid) said, "And we say along with them." He said, "Yazid added something of his own, or he narrated something that Ka'b narrated from himself, but I do not know what it was."  

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {إِنَّ اللهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ} [الأحزاب 56] قَالُوا كَيْفَ نُصَلِّي عَلَيْكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ؟ قَالَ قُولُوا اللهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ وَبَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ قَالَ وَنَحْنُ نَقُولُ وَعَلَيْنَا مَعَهُمْ قَالَ يَزِيدُ فَلَا أَدْرِي أَشَيْءٌ زَادَهُ ابْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى مِنْ قِبَلِ نَفْسِهِ أَوْ شَيْءٌ رَوَاهُ كَعْبٌ
