Do these vermins trouble you? I said: Yes. Thereupon he said: Then shave your head; and it was in connection with me that this verse was revealed:" Whoever among you is sick or has an ailment of the head, he (may effect) a compensation by fasting or alms or a sacrifice". He (the Holy Prophet, therefore) said to me: Observe fast for three days or give a quantity of alms enough to feed six needy persons or offer sacrifice (of an animal) that is available.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ وَرَأْسُهُ يَتَهَافَتُ قَمْلاً فَقَالَ أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاحْلِقْ رَأْسَكَ قَالَ فَفِيَّ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ { فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَرِيضًا أَوْ بِهِ أَذًى مِنْ رَأْسِهِ فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ} فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ تَصَدَّقْ بِفَرَقٍ بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ أَوِ انْسُكْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ  

[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 came to the Prophet ﷺ and he said, "Approach." So I approached him two or three times, and he said, "Does your head hurt?" Ibn 'Awn said, "Yes." So he ordered me to fast or give charity or perform any acts of worship that are affordable. Ibn 'Awn said, "I forgot what he said about fasting and charity, so I remembered Ayub Al-Sakhtayani and he said, 'I heard this hadith from him.' I asked, 'How is it?' He said, 'Fast for three days or give charity to six poor people or perform acts of worship as much as you can.'" Ayub used to say, "Does your headache bother you?  

فِيَّ أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «ادْنُ» فَدَنَوْتُ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا فَقَالَ «أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ؟» قَالَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ وَأَظُنُّهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ «» فَأَمَرَنِي بِصِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ مَا تَيَسَّرَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ فَنَسِيتُ مَا قَالَ فِي الصِّيَامِ وَالصَّدَقَةِ فَذَاكَرْتُ أَيُّوبَ السَّخْتِيَانِيَّ فَقَالَ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مِنْهُ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ هُوَ؟ قَالَ صِيَامُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٌ عَلَى سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينٍ أَوْ نُسُكٌ مَا تَيَسَّرَ وَكَانَ أَيُّوبُ يَقُولُ إِنَّهُ قَالَ أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ؟  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood beside me at Al-Hudaibiya and the lice were falling from my head in great number. He asked me, "Have your lice troubled you?" I replied in the affirmative. He ordered me to get my head shaved. Kaʿb added, "This Holy Verse:--'And if any of you is ill, or has ailment in his scalp (2.196), etc. was revealed regarding me. "The Prophet ﷺ then ordered me either to fast three days, or to feed six poor persons with one Faraq (three Sas) (of dates), or to slaughter a sheep, etc. (sacrifice) whatever was available. (Using translation from Bukhārī 1815)   

قَالَ وَقَفَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَرَأْسِي يَتَهَافَتُ قَمْلًا فَقَالَ «أَتُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «فَاحْلِقْ رَأْسَكَ» وَأُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مَرِيضًا أَوْ بِهِ أَذًى مِنْ رَأْسِهِ فَفِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ أَوْ نُسُكٍ} [البقرة 196] قَالَ فَأَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ تَصَدَّقْ بِفَرَقٍ بَيْنَ سِتَّةٍ أَوْ شَاةٍ مَا تَيَسَّرَ قَالَ وَأَنْزِلَ اللهُ فِيهِ هَذَا
