(Reporting the speech of Kaʿb bin Umra) Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw him (i.e. Kaʿb) while the lice were falling on his face. He asked (him), "Have your lice troubled you?" He replied in the affirmative. So, he ordered him to get his head shaved while he was at Al-Hudaibiya. At that time they were not permitted to finish their Ihram, and were still hoping to enter Mecca. So, Allah revealed the verses of Al-Fidya. Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered him to feed six poor persons with one Faraq of food or to slaughter one sheep (as a sacrifice) or to fast for three days.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَآهُ وَأَنَّهُ يَسْقُطُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَحْلِقَ وَهُوَ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَلَمْ يَتَبَيَّنْ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ يَحِلُّونَ بِهَا وَهُمْ عَلَى طَمَعٍ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوا مَكَّةَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ الْفِدْيَةَ فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُطْعِمَ فَرَقًا بَيْنَ سِتَّةٍ أَوْ يُهْدِيَ شَاةً أَوْ يَصُومَ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ  

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.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَآهُ وَقَمْلُهُ يَسْقُطُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَحْلِقَ وَهْوَ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ لَمْ يُبَيِّنْ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ يَحِلُّونَ بِهَا وَهُمْ عَلَى طَمَعٍ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوا مَكَّةَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ الْفِدْيَةَ فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُطْعِمَ فَرَقًا بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ أَوْ يُهْدِيَ شَاةً أَوْ يَصُومَ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ  

Do these vermin trouble you? He (Ka'b) said: Yes. The Messenger of Allah (way peace be upon him) said: Shave your head and give some quantity of food enough to feed six needy persons (faraq is equal to three sa's), or observe fast for three days or offer sacrifice of a sacrificial animal. Ibn Najih (one of the narrators) said:" Or sacrifice a goat."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَرَّ بِهِ وَهُوَ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ مَكَّةَ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ وَهُوَ يُوقِدُ تَحْتَ قِدْرٍ وَالْقَمْلُ يَتَهَافَتُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ هَذِهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاحْلِقْ رَأْسَكَ وَأَطْعِمْ فَرَقًا بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ وَالْفَرَقُ ثَلاَثَةُ آصُعٍ أَوْ صُمْ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوِ انْسُكْ نَسِيكَةً قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ أَوِ اذْبَحْ شَاةً  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ saw me and noticed lice falling from my face. He asked, "Do your lice bother you?" I replied, "Yes." He then commanded me to shave my head. We were in Hudaybiyyah at the time, and he did not inform them that they were performing the Umrah (lesser pilgrimage). They had expected to enter Mecca. Allah then revealed the Fidyah (compensation) for them, and the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ commanded me to either feed a group of six needy people, or fast for three days, or sacrifice a sheep.  

رَآنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَمْلِي يَتَسَاقَطُ عَلَى وَجْهِي فَقَالَ أَتُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ هَذِهِ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَحْلِقَ وَهُمْ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَلَمْ يُبَيِّنْ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ يَحْلِقُونَ بِهَا وَهُمْ عَلَى طَمَعٍ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوا مَكَّةَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ الْفِدْيَةَ فَأَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ أُطْعِمَ فِرْقًا بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ أَوْ أَصُومَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَذْبَحَ شَاةً  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ passed by him in Hudaybiyah and said to him, "Does your hair harm you?" I replied, "Yes." So, he commanded me to shave it off, without clarifying to them that it was a form of Hajj and they were hopeful to enter Mecca. The verse of atonement was then revealed: "And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded me to fast for three days or feed six poor persons or sacrifice a sheep."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَرَّ بِهِ وَهُوَ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ «أَتُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّ رَأْسِكَ؟ » فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَحْلِقَ قَالَ وَلَمْ يُبَيِّنْ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ يَحْلِقُونَ بِهَا وَهُمْ عَلَى طَمَعٍ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوا مَكَّةَ قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْفِدْيَةِ «وَأَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ أَصُومَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمَ فَرَقًا بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ أَوْ أَذْبَحَ شَاةً»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw a lice falling on his face, so he asked, "Does your lice bother you?" He (the person) replied, "Yes." So the Prophet ordered him to shave (his head), while they were still in Hudaybiyah and he did not inform them that they would perform Umrah with it (the shaved hair), and they still had hopes to enter Makkah. Then Allah revealed the verse, "Fidya (ransom) is either fasting or charity" (Quran 2:196), a difference between feeding six poor persons or sacrificing a sheep, and the sacrifices are to be done at Makkah.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَأَى قَمْلَةً سَقَطَتْ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ أَيُؤْذِيكَ هَوَامُّكَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَحْلِقَ وَهُوَ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَلَمْ يُبَيِّنْ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ يَحِلُّونَ بِهَا وَهُمْ عَلَى طَمَعٍ أَنْ يَدْخُلُوا مَكَّةَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ {فِدْيَةٌ مِنْ صِيَامٍ أَوْ صَدَقَةٍ} فَرَقٌ بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ أَوْ نُسُكُ شَاةٍ وَالنُّسُكُ بِمَكَّةَ  

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
