Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ قَالَ رَآنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ 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 اللَّهُ الْفِدْيَةَ فَأَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ أُطْعِمَ فِرْقًا بَيْنَ سِتَّةِ مَسَاكِينَ أَوْ أَصُومَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَذْبَحَ شَاةً.
English Translation
It was narrated to us by Abd al-Razzaq, who said: it was narrated to us by Ma'mar, from Ibn Abi Najih, from Mujahid, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Layla, from Ka'b ibn Ujrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, saw me with the lice falling onto my face, and he said, "Is this vermin of yours bothering you?" I said, "Yes." He said, "So he commanded me to shave," while they were at al-Hudaybiyah, and it had not yet been made clear to them that they would shave there while they were still hoping to enter Mecca. So Allah revealed the ransom, and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded me to feed a measure of food distributed among six poor persons, or to fast three days, or to slaughter a sheep.
