84. Expiation for Unfulfilled Oaths

٨٤۔ كتاب كفارات الأيمان

84.1 “(Then for the) expiation feed ten Masakin…”

٨٤۔١ بَابُ كَفَّارَاتِ الأَيْمَانِ

[Machine] And the saying of Allah the Exalted: "So its expiation is the feeding of ten needy people." And what the Prophet ﷺ ordered when the verse was revealed: "So it is an expiation by fasting or charity or sacrifice." And it is mentioned from Ibn Abbas, Ata, and Ikrimah what was in the Quran or its interpretation by the best companions, and the Prophet ﷺ had given a choice to Ka'b regarding the expiation.

وَقَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: {فَكَفَّارَتُهُ إِطْعَامُ عَشَرَةِ مَسَاكِينَ}. وَمَا أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حِينَ نَزَلَتْ: {فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ} وَيُذْكَرُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَعَطَاءٍ وَعِكْرِمَةَ مَا كَانَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ أَوْ أَوْ فَصَاحِبُهُ بِالْخِيَارِ وَقَدْ خَيَّرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ كَعْبًا فِي الْفِدْيَةِ.

I came to the Prophet ﷺ and he said to me, "Come near." So I went near to him and he said, "Are your lice troubling you?" I replied, "Yes." He said, "(Shave your head and) make expiation in the form of fasting, Sadaqa (giving in charity), or offering a sacrifice." (The sub-narrator) Aiyub said, "Fasting should be for three days, and the Nusuk (sacrifice) is to be a sheep, and the Sadaqa is to be given to six poor persons."  

البخاري:٦٧٠٨حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو شِهَابٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ قَالَ

أَتَيْتُهُ يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ ادْنُ فَدَنَوْتُ فَقَالَ أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ وَأَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ عَوْنٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ قَالَ صِيَامُ ثَلاَثَةِ أَيَّامٍ وَالنُّسُكُ شَاةٌ وَالْمَسَاكِينُ سِتَّةٌ
