(Fifth Chain) Abdullah bin Ma’qil Mazni says: I was sitting in the mosque of Kufa with Sayyiduna Ka’b bin ‘Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him). I asked him about this verse {فَفِدْیَۃٌمِّنْصِیَامٍأَوْصَدَقَۃٍأَوْنُسُکٍ} (Surah Al-Baqarah: 196). He said: This verse was revealed about me. There were lice in my head, so I was brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and lice were falling on my face. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I did not think that you would be in so much pain and hardship. Are you able to slaughter a goat? I said: No. At that time, this verse was revealed: {فَفِدْیَۃٌمِّنْصِیَامٍأَوْصَدَقَۃٍأَوْنُسُکٍ} (Surah Al-Baqarah: 196), meaning to fast three days or feed six needy people in such a way that each one gets half a sa’. Sayyiduna Ka’b (may Allah be pleased with him) said: This verse was specifically revealed about me, but its ruling is general for all of you.
