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)  

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَنَحْنُ مُحْرِمُونَ وَقَدْ حَصَرَنَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ قَالَ وَكَانَتْ لِي وَفْرَةٌ فَجَعَلَتِ الْهَوَامُّ تَسَّاقَطُ عَلَى وَجْهِي فَمَرَّ بِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ وَأُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ {فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَرِيضًا أَوْ بِهِ أَذًى مِنْ رَأْسِهِ فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ}  

[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] This verse was revealed while we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Hudaybiyyah, and we were in a state of ihram. The idolaters had also joined us. I had excess hair, so I started shaking it off my face. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by and said, "Is your hair bothering you?" I replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Shave it off." Then this verse was revealed: "So, a payment in atonement is to either fast for three days, or feed six needy persons, or offer a sacrifice." He said, "Fast for three days, or feed six needy persons, or sacrifice a sheep."  

نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فِي كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَنَحْنُ مُحْرِمُونَ وَقَدْ حَضَرَنَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ وَكَانَتْ لِي وَفْرَةٌ فَجَعَلْتِ الْهَوَامُّ تَسَّاقَطُ عَلَى وَجْهِي فَمَرَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «فَاحْلِقْ» قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ} قَالَ «فَالصِّيَامُ ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ وَالصَّدَقَةُ سِتَّةُ مَسَاكِينٍ وَالنُّسُكُ شَاةٌ»
