Ka’b bin ‘Ujra said that Allah’s Apostle said to him (Ka’b), “Perhaps your lice have troubled you?”
Ka’b replied, “Yes! O Allah’s Apostle.” Allah’s Apostle said, “Have your head shaved and then either
fast three days or feed six poor persons or slaughter one sheep as a sacrifice.”
Volume 3, Book 28, Number 42:
Narrated Ka’b bin ‘Umra:
Allah’s Apostle 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. Ka’b 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 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 (sacri –
fice) whatever was available.

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Ma’qal:
I sat with Ka’b bin ‘Ujra and asked him about the Fidya. He replied, “This revelation was revealed
concerning my case especially, but it is also for you in general. I was carried to Allah’s Apostle and
the lice were falling in great number on my face. The Prophet said, “I have never thought that your
ailment (or struggle) has reached to such an extent as I see. Can you afford a sheep?” I replied in the
negative. He then said, “Fast for three days, or feed six poor persons each with half a Sa of food.” (1 Sa
= 3 Kilograms approx.)
Volume 3, Book 28, Number 44:
Narrated Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Layla:
(Reporting the speech of Ka’b bin Umra) Allah’s Apostle saw him (i.e. Ka’b) while the lice were fall –
ing 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 permit –
ted to finish their Ihram, and were still hoping to enter Mecca. So, Allah revealed the verses of Al-
Fidya. Allah’s Apostle 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.

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 3 > BOOK 28: PILGRIMS PREVENTED FROM COMPLETING THE PILGRIMMAGE
Volume 3, Book 28, Number 33:
Narrated Nafi:
When Abdullah bin Umar set out for Mecca intending to perform Umra, at the time of afflictions,
he said, “If I should be prevented from reaching the Kaba, then I would do the same as Allah’s Apostle
did, so I assume the lhram for Umra as Allah’s Apostle assumed the Ihram for Umra in the year of
Hudaibiya.”
Volume 3, Book 28, Number 34:
Narrated Nafi:
That Ubaidullah bin ‘Abdullah and Salim bin ‘Abdullah informed him that they told Ibn ‘Umar
when Ibn Az-Zubair was attacked by the army, saying “There is no harm for you if you did not per –
form Hajj this year. We are afraid that you may be prevented from reaching the Kaba.” Ibn ‘Umar
said “We set out with Allah’s Apostle and the non-believers of Quraish prevented us from reaching
the Ka’ba, and so the Prophet slaughtered his Hadi and got his head shaved.” Ibn ‘Umar added, “I
make you witnesses that I have made ‘Umra obligatory for me. And, Allah willing, I will go and then
if the way to Ka’ba is clear, I will perform the Tawaf, but if I am prevented from going to the Ka’ba
then I will do the same as the Prophet did while I was in his company.” Ibn ‘Umar then assumed
Ihram for Umra from Dhul-Hulaifa and proceeded for a while and said, “The conditions of ‘Umra
and Hajj are similar and I make you witnesses that I have made ‘Umra and Hajj obligatory for my –
self.” So, he did not finish the Ihram till the day of Nahr (slaughtering) came, and he slaughtered his
Hadi. He used to say, “I will not finish the Ihram till I perform the Tawaf, one Tawaf on the day of en –
tering Mecca (i.e. of Safa and Marwa for both ‘Umra and Hajj).”
