[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."
