That Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw him with the lice falling (from his head) on his face. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Are your lice troubling you? Kaʿb said, "Yes." Messenger of Allah ﷺ thus ordered him to shave his head while he was at Al-Hudaibiya. Up to then there was no indication that all of them would finish their state of Ihram and they hoped that they would enter Mecca. Then the order of Al-Fidya was revealed, so Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered Kaʿb to feed six poor persons with one Faraq of food or slaughter a sheep or fast for three days. (Using translation from Bukhārī 4159)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَآهُ وَالْقُمَّلُ يَسْقُطُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَحْلِقَ قَالَ وَهُمْ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ لَمْ يَتَبَيَّنْ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ يَحِلُّونَ بِهَا وَهُمْ عَلَى طَمَعٍ مِنْ دُخُولِ مَكَّةَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ الْفِدْيَةَ وَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُطْعِمَ فَرَقًا بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ أَوْ صَوْمُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ نُسُكُ شَاةٍ  

[Machine] We made the pilgrimage to the Kaaba just as we did with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He performed Umrah and set off until he reached an open space. He turned to his companions and said, "I only see them as one. Bear witness that I have combined Hajj with Umrah." He continued until he reached the Kaaba and performed tawaf around it seven times. He also performed seven sa'is between Safa and Marwa. He did not add anything to that. He saw that he had fulfilled its obligation and narrated the words of Yahya ibn Yahya. In another narration of Ibn Bukayr, he performed Umrah because the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed Umrah during the year of Hudaybiyyah. The rest of the statement has the same meaning. Ash-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said, "If I am prevented from reaching the Kaaba, we will do as we did with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , meaning we will declare it lawful as we declared it lawful with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the year of Hudaybiyyah."  

عَنِ الْبَيْتِ صَنَعْنَا كَمَا صَنَعْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَخَرَجَ فَأَهَلَّ بِعُمْرَةٍ وَسَارَ حَتَّى ظَهَرَ عَلَى الْبَيْدَاءِ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ مَا أُرَاهُمَا إِلَّا وَاحِدًا أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي قَدْ أَوْجَبْتُ الْحَجَّ مَعَ الْعُمْرَةِ فَخَرَجَ حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَ الْبَيْتَ فَطَافَ بِهِ سَبْعًا وَبَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ سَبْعًا لَمْ يَزِدْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَأَى أَنَّهُ مُجْزِئٌ عَنْهُ وَأَهْدَى لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَحْيَى وَفِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ فَأَهَلَّ بِعُمْرَةٍ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَهَلَّ بِعُمْرَةٍ عَامَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَالْبَاقِي بِمَعْنَاهُ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ إِنْ صُدِدْتُ عَنِ الْبَيْتِ صَنَعْنَا كَمَا صَنَعْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَعْنِي أَحْلَلْنَا كَمَا أَحْلَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَامَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ  

[Machine] Ibn Makhrama and Marwan Ibn Al-Hakam both confirmed the narration of each other. They said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ left Hudaybiyah with around ten thousand of his companions until they reached Al-Hulayfah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the Tawaf, wore the Ihram, and began the Umrah. He then mentioned the narration about his stay in Hudaybiyah and his journey until the furthest point in Hudaybiyah. Then, he mentioned the arrival of Suhayl Ibn Amr and what incidents occurred when they prevented him from entering the Ka'bah. When he finished dealing with the contractual agreements, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to his companions, "Get up and perform the sacrifice, then shave your heads." He said this three times, but no one from among them stood up. Finally, a man stood up and went to Umm Salamah and informed her about what the people were doing. She said, "O Messenger of Allah, do you desire this?" He replied, "Go out and do not speak to any of them until you have slaughtered your sacrificial animal and asked your hairdresser to shave your head." He then went out and did not speak to any of them until he slaughtered his sacrificial animal and asked his hairdresser to shave his head. When they saw this, they all stood up and began slaughtering their sacrificial animals. Some of them were even helping each other to shave their heads to the point that it seemed like they were about to kill each other out of jealousy and competition.

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, do not blame them, for the people have been struck by a great affair upon seeing you taking responsibility for the reconciliation and your departure without being granted victory. So, O Messenger of Allah, go out and do not speak to anyone until you perform your Hajj rituals and sacrifice. For when the people see you doing that, they will follow your example. So the Messenger of Allah left the place without speaking to anyone until he reached his destination and performed his Hajj rituals and sacrifice. When the people saw the Messenger of Allah doing this, they got up and followed his example and performed the Hajj rituals and sacrifice, some shaving their heads and others trimming their hair. The Messenger of Allah supplicated, 'O Allah, forgive those who have shaved their heads thrice.' It was said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what about those who have trimmed their hair?' He repeated, 'O Allah, forgive those who have shaved their heads thrice.' It was said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what about those who have trimmed their hair?' He then said, 'And forgive those who have trimmed their hair once.' Then the Messenger of Allah returned and Ibn Ishaq narrated that Abdullah bin Abi Najeeh narrated from Mujahid from Ibn Abbas that he was asked, 'Why did the Messenger of Allah single out three for those who shaved their heads and one for those who trimmed their hair?' He replied, 'Because they did not hesitate.'"
